Belonging & Sustainability

We’re a fun-loving bunch at Virgin Media. But we always know when to take things seriously. From lowering our environmental impact to increasing opportunities for disabled people, we want to grow our business in a way that’s good for people, communities and the environment.

Sustainability

We’re sustainability savvy

Our sustainability team might be small, but our strategy’s made a huge impression– and we have even bigger plans. Our ‘5 in 5’ goals make sure that as we grow, we’re going beyond compliance and doing it in a way that’s good for our customers, our people and the environment. Above and beyond this, we want to use our business, brand and people to create positive change for our customers and the communities we’re part of.

Each of our sustainability strategy goals is sponsored by a member of the Executive Committee and our business functions are accountable for making it happen day-to-day, with advice and support from the Sustainability team.
We’re coming to the end of our current five-year ‘5 in 5’ plan and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved. In recent years, we’ve reduced our carbon footprint by 22%, purchased 100% of our contracted electricity from renewable sources, and supported over 120,000 disabled people with employment information and skills.

Belonging

At Virgin Media, we're committed to building a diverse workforce, where nobody is left behind.

A place to belong & feel proud of

We’re building a place where everyone belongs. A place where everyone is empowered to bring – and be – their whole selves at work. It’s the way that we’ll truly work as one team, driving our high performance culture and empowering all of our brilliant people.

Diverse and unique individuals, with varied backgrounds, experiences, races, gender identities, ages, religions and abilities. Every single person matters.

We’re always listening & learning

Across our business we’ve been building employee network groups, to lead conversations about true inclusion and to champion diversity. We don’t just talk a good talk, belonging is always first thing on our minds – we truly live and breathe it.

Whether it’s delivering on enhanced workplace adjustments, running community volunteering programmes or delivering training and skills development, we’re committed to an inclusive approach in all of our strategies, decisions and experiences.
