The Strategic Report

Group performance
Our performance as a responsible and sustainable business
We are a company that does business
responsibly and sustainably. Our Better
Future programme underpins this, by
making sure our people, networks and
technology work together to deliver
thebest outcomes for our business,
societyand the environment.
We have invested £27m directly in society, made up of a mixture of
cash, time volunteered and in-kind contributions equating to 1% of our
2012/13 adjusted prot before tax. This brings our total investment to
over £165m over the past six years (an average of 1.3% of prot before
tax each year).

People having
access to satellite
connectivity in 19
African villages
Around
In the UK 6.6 out of ten people can now access bre-based products
and services (this is equivalent to two thirds of premises passed). We are
well on our way to achieving our 2020 goal of nine out of ten. Through
our regional Get IT Together projects, in 2013/14 we helped over
10,800 people to participate in courses that have helped them to gain
condence and competence in using the internet.
We also announced a three-year partnership, The Right Click Internet
Safety Matters, with UNICEF, to provide practical advice about online
child safety to up to 35,000 teachers, parents and children in the
UK, supported by BT volunteers. Outside the UK, our Connecting
Africa project provided satellite connectivity to 19 villages across the
continent. This has provided access to information and critical services
such as healthcare for around 95,000 people and we expect that up
to 570,000 people living in the villages and surrounding areas could
indirectly benet.
In September we published the ndings of our research partnership
with Scope in the Enabling Technology’ report which highlighted how
technology can work better for the UK’s 11m people with disabilities.
Weare implementing its ndings.
