This annual report provides an overview of our economic, social and environmental impacts and performance. Additional details, including our latest stories, can be found on our website.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the reporting criteria and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards: Core option. All data in this report covers the period January 1 to December 31, 2020, unless otherwise stated.

We report on our operations in 6 European countries under the consumer brands Virgin Media, Telenet and UPC. Our policy is to include any new subsidiaries that have been acquired in the first six months of the reporting period.
