BRITISH TELECOM (BT) to reduce its carbon emissions 80 percent by 2020

British Telecom (BT) is the major UK telecommunications company (see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Group ).

According to Earth2tech, 2 June 2008: “British Telecom (BT) said today it plans to reduce its carbon emissions 80 percent by 2020. The UK-based incumbent telecom operator is already on its way to meeting that aggressive target, and last October said it would invest close to half a billion dollars in wind farms that could supply close to 25 percent of the company’s power needs by 2016. That was the largest investment in renewable power by a non-power company in the UK ... BT also says the company has created a new tool called the Climate Stabilisation Intensity (CSI) Target to measure and track carbon emissions.” [1].
