Virgin Media O2 launched its new Better Connections plan in 2021, bringing O2’s previous Blueprint sustainability strategy to a close.
O2’s Blueprint, the third edition of the company’s responsible business plan, was launched in August 2020, setting out its social and environmental commitments to building a greener future. This included a 2025 net zero target for its operations – to help society thrive, and to foster a responsible and inclusive business culture.
This set out the ambition to help 20 million people live better with tech by 2020. We wanted to help people to navigate and enjoy the digital world safely, while delivering digital solutions that help our customers to reduce their impact on the planet.

Our first Blueprint sustainability plan pledged to:
help 1 million young people develop skills for life and lead community projects across the UK
develop products and services to help 10 million people live in easier, more sustainable ways
deliver carbon benefits to customers that are 10 times the impact of our network.
