    BT’s Sustainability Report 2007 About the report We have reported on our social and environmental impacts for a number of years, but this is our first Sustainability Report. We decided to rename the report to reflect our sharpening focus on the economic implications of sustainable development. Our 2007 report includes: • Our social, economic and environmental performance from 1 April 2006 – 31 March 2007. This information is audited by LRQA, as indicated by the LRQA logo: • Our Regulatory Compliance Report, including the second report from the Equality of Access Board. This report is audited by PwC. • An independently written “hot topic”, which this year is written by the independent think tank RAND Europe and explores responsibility in the digital age. We have also produced a short printed report, our Sustainability – Business Overview to explain our approach to social, economic and environmental issues in the context of our business strategy and summarise our sustainability performance. Explore our report section by section, or using the GRI indicators and UN Global Compact principles. Assurance This report has been assured against the AA1000 Assurance Standard and prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines 2002, with reference to the GRI Pilot Telecommunications Sector Supplement.
