Carrier EE has published its first Responsibility Report, and we’re sure the PR cogs were working overtime to get it word perfect.
Within its musings, the company claims it has identified twelve areas that need improving, including reducing its environmental impact, keeping children safe and building further sustainability in its supply chain.
It also promised that by 2015 it will improve the digital skills of 1 million people, as well as recruit 500 apprentices into its business
The company has said it will be launching an EE graduate scheme and has committed to
supporting Plotr, the government-supported careers portal which is set to launch this year.
EE said its HR team will begin an initiative in schools, supporting 10 week-long work experience placements at its Bristol office for students from local secondary schools.
The pledges come as a new survey found that a quarter of Brits can’t be bothered to report broadband issues. According to comparison website Recombu.com/digital, of the 1447 people it asked 74 percent blamed slow internet issues on ‘heavy traffic’ and fail to report slow connectivity to their internet service provider.
Just over a third said they only reported a problem when ‘connectivity stopped entirely’, while 11 percent stated that they ‘never’ reported issues.
