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 a large private fleet of vehicles and occupies approximately 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.
