The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recognized Verizon
Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) as a recipient of the 2024
ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award in
the Energy Management category. This marks the 12th consecutive
year that Verizon has been recognized by ENERGY STAR® for its
ongoing leadership in protecting the environment through its
numerous energy efficient milestones and achievements.
Verizon has achieved 677 ENERGY STAR certifications for its
properties since 2001 and will continue to pursue ENERGY STAR
certifications for 100% of its eligible facilities. Verizon is
actively reducing energy use across its networks, data centers and
building portfolio. By migrating copper-based services to fiber
technologies, implementing energy-saving practices such as free
cooling to our data centers, and upgrading to LED lights in our
administrative buildings, Verizon is focused on maximizing energy
efficiency.
“Verizon takes responsibility for its role in a shared future
and remains committed to leveraging its resources, technology and
people to bring economic, environmental and social advancement,”
said James Gowen, Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain &
Sourcing, and Chief Sustainability Officer at Verizon. “As one of
the largest corporate green bond issuers in the U.S., Verizon is
working to reduce its carbon emissions and environmental impacts,
and make our networks and communities more climate resilient. We’re
proud to be recognized among other committed organizations actively
working towards energy efficient solutions that will preserve a
healthy planet for future generations and allow our customers to be
a part of that solution.”
As recently announced, Verizon joined RE100, a global initiative
bringing together the world’s most influential businesses committed
to 100% renewable electricity. Aiming to source renewable energy
equivalent to 100% of its annual electricity usage by 2030, with an
interim target of 50% by 2025, the move to join RE100 aligned with
the company’s long-standing commitment to drive environmental and
social progress as part of its responsible business plan, Citizen
Verizon. As part of our renewable energy purchase program, Verizon
has entered into 27 REPAs for a total of approximately 3.6
gigawatts (GW) of anticipated renewable energy generating
capacity.
Each year, the ENERGY STAR® Awards honor a group of businesses
and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to
protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency
achievements. Winners include businesses, organizations, and
innovators that drive the adoption of energy-efficient products,
services, and strategies crucial for reducing emissions and
creating a healthy environment. Verizon was honored for its
long-term commitment to energy efficiency and accomplishments in
Washington, D.C., on April 25, 2024.
