Openreach's reported carbon emissions
Openreach, a UK-based post and telecommunication services provider, currently operates without publicly available carbon emissions data at the individual company level. However, its climate commitments are integrated within the broader framework of its ultimate parent company, BT Group plc.
Openreach's climate and emissions reduction targets are cascaded from BT Group plc. BT Group plc has established Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) reduction targets, which likely influence Openreach's operational sustainability. Additionally, BT Group plc is a signatory to initiatives such as RE100 and has made a Climate Pledge, indicating a commitment to 100% renewable electricity and working towards net-zero emissions. These group-level commitments suggest Openreach operates within a strong environmental policy framework aimed at reducing carbon footprint across its operations.
