BT Mobile

How ethical and sustainable is BT Mobile? 

BT Mobile is a mobile phone network owned by the BT Group Plc and receives a poor Good Shopping Guide score in our Ethical Mobile Phones Networks Ratings Table.

Although BT Mobile has not yet met our Ethical Benchmark, we hope to see the brand make progress in the future. However, this would require a lot of work.

In what areas of sustainability and ethics does BT Mobile perform well? 

BT Mobile performs well in our Nuclear Power and Fossil Fuels categories, as it was not found to be involved in either of these controversial industries.

In what ethical areas does BT Mobile perform poorly? 

As one of the lowest scoring brands in our Mobile Networks research, there is still much room for improvement. The brand was marked down under our criteria for Armaments, due to the company’s involvement in the defence industry.

Additionally, BT receives a poor rating for Human Rights and Other Criticisms, due to its involvement in several unethical practices. This includes dangerous network failures, poor treatment of customers and workers’ rights abuses.

How can BT Mobile improve its Ethical Rating?

The Good Shopping Guide score results from multiple ethical criteria in relation to BT Mobile. To reach our minimum Ethical Benchmark and qualify for Ethical Accreditation, BT Mobile has some issues to resolve, including its involvement in military operations and unethical business practices.
