BT, the UK technology firm which has already reduced emissions by over 80% since 1996, has committed itself to becoming a net-zero-carbon company by 2045. Last year, the company established a science-based target to cut emissions by 100% by 2030 against a 2016/17 baseline. The company has decided to make its emissions targets more ambitious following the recent United Nations IPCC climate report. BT, which purchases approximately 1% of the UK’s annual electricity, is switching to 87% renewable energy, decarbonising its building portfolio and transitioning to low-emission vehicles.
