‘Growing for Good’ Report Highlights Performance Against
Liberty Global's Sustainability and Social Impact Priorities During
the First Year of its ‘People Planet Progress’ Strategy
Liberty Global Ltd. (Liberty Global) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and
LBTYK) has released its annual People Planet Progress report for
2023, demonstrating its steadfast commitment to fostering
inclusivity, sustainability and responsibility across its business.
Highlights include women constituting 44 percent of the workforce
in Liberty Global Netherlands, UK and US as well as a 28 percent
decrease in carbon emissions (Scope 1 & 2)* since 2019.
Liberty Global launched its People Planet Progress strategy last
year, aligning its existing sustainability and social impact
priorities across the business. It also joined the UN Global
Compact, the Joint Alliance for CSR and the Sustainable Markets
Initiative to build transparency and help amplify its commitments
in the field of sustainability.
Building on the three pillars of People, Planet and Progress,
highlights from the report include:
People
- Over 225,000 people benefited from affordable connectivity
packages provided by Telenet and VMO2.
- Women constituted 44 percent of the workforce in Liberty Global
Netherlands, UK and US. This means that Liberty Global is on track
to meet its end-of-year 2025 ambition for its workforce to be made
up of 45 percent women by 2025.
- 1.9 million people positively impacted by VMO2 and
VodafoneZiggo programs and partnerships to help build digital
skills.

consolidated subsidiaries.

2)* since 2019.
- 92 percent renewable electricity procured across Liberty’s
consolidated group.

entertainment and connectivity boxes made from 100% recycled
plastics.

Coalition
Progress
- Launched SustainEd webinar series to educate employees on
sustainability topics.
- Increased CDP rating (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) to a
B grade, demonstrating commitment to climate action.

with universal sustainability principles.
*Scope 1 and 2 across the Liberty Global consolidated group
since 2019. Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by
an organization (e.g. emissions associated with fuel combustion in
boilers, furnaces, vehicles). Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG
emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat,
or cooling, computed using a market-based methodology.
Mike Fries, CEO, Liberty Global, commented: “In the first
year of our People Planet Progress strategy, I’m proud that we are
already making a positive impact on some of the most critical
issues facing society, our communities and the environment. Our
commitment to ingrain sustainability and social impact into every
part of our business stretches from the 100 percent recycled
plastics in our entertainment and connectivity products to helping
to bridge the digital divide with hundreds of thousands of
customers benefitting from our affordable connectivity packages.
The report showcases our track record of innovation as well as our
purpose driven mindset, which helps us to focus on the matters that
impact today and shape the opportunities of our future.”
