Managing sustainability
We revised our approach to governing and managing sustainability in 2010. Our new
approach includes plans for an external advisory network and clearer responsibilities for
managing each area of sustainability.
Management
For management purposes the main corporate
responsibility issues have been divided between
three organizational entities: ethics and compliance;
health, safety and security; and sustainability.
The leaders of these teams operate as a virtual
Sustainability working group, ensuring good
communication and collaboration across the three
areas. In addition, cross-functional teams operate in
specific focus areas, developing and implementing
policies or major projects on topics such as
environmental operations and human rights.
Alongside these teams, networks of people
throughout the business come together around
specific issues such as reporting, community
involvement, and the role of ICT in sustainability.
Connectivity and development
We aim to grow our business by providing “useful connectivity”. We define useful
connectivity as the bundle of hardware, software, complementary skills, and informed
usage that determines how productively ICT infrastructure will be used to support social
and economic development.
Environmental impacts of our products and services
We are growing new business by using our expertise in efficient management of complex
networks to build a low carbon economy beyond the ICT sector that enables significant
reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. While this is possibly
the greatest contribution we can make to fighting climate change, we continue to minimize
the environmental impacts of our products and our customers’ networks.
