Verizon knows that responsible business is good business, and its approach to sustainability is tied to, and embedded in, its business strategy and operations. The company’s green bond program allows it to finance its renewable energy program on terms that are often less expensive than its typical bonds. Since it is a major consumer of renewables, its moves here also encourage the greening of the electric grid and the development of a renewable energy economy that will serve its needs, along with society’s. In support of this effort, Verizon has a target to source 100% of the energy it uses in its networks from renewables by 2030.
