Jan du Plessis, Chairman of BT states
BT Group Statement on Year of Climate Action
‘We strongly back the Prime Minister’s year of climate action. BT led the way by setting a science-based carbon reduction target in 2008 and we’ve since reduced our carbon emissions by 80%. We have a commitment to be net zero by 2045 and will play our part in helping the UK to dramatically reduce its carbon footprint. It is time for all businesses to join us on this road to net zero and to make 2020 the year of climate action.’
