Press Kits

Verizon Green Press Kit

Environmental stewardship is ingrained in Verizon’s heritage, and the company prides itself on having a positive influence on the environment in which it operates.

Verizon, which owns one of the biggest private fleets of vehicles in the U.S. and occupies more than 30,000 facilities around the world, is continually looking for ways to reduce the company’s environmental impact and improve efficiency. Verizon's energy-conservation initiatives range from operating the nation’s largest fuel cell site of its kind, to using solar panels, to requiring suppliers to provide equipment that is more energy-efficient.

The information, communications and technology industry, of which Verizon is a part, accounts for only about 2 percent of global CO₂ emissions. The information contained in this press kit explains how Verizon is striving to find solutions that address not just that 2 percent, but the entire global emissions problem. The company’s networks are playing an increasingly significant role in enabling smart logistics, smart buildings and a national smart power grid.
