Helping customers reduce carbon emissions.
Advanced technology enables millions of consumers and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and be more sustainable. Our connected solutions help our customers save energy and reduce their carbon emissions.
We’ve set a new goal that by 2030, Verizon solutions will help avoid 20 million metric tons of CO2e annually.
In 2020, our solutions enabled the avoidance of 12 million metric tons of CO2e. The emissions avoided represent approximately 2.8 times the emissions generated by Verizon’s operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions).
Reducing water consumption.
Our goal is to reduce our water consumption by 15% over our 2016 level by 2025. Through 2019, we achieved a 9% reduction with usage of 2.35 billion gallons, down from 2.6 billion gallons in 2016.
