AT&T Aims for Carbon Savings 10X By 2025
AT&T has set a goal to enable carbon savings 10 times the footprint of its operations by 2025.
The gains will be achieved by enhancing the efficiency of its network and delivering low-carbon customer solutions.
To be achieved by 2025, additional goals focus on the communities in which AT&T operates and the company’s supply chain:
- AT&T will invest resources, develop initiatives and collaborate with stakeholders to close the skills gap, by increasing the number of Americans with high-quality, post-secondary degrees or credentials to 60 percent.
- AT&T will work with its industry peers to develop and promote adoption of sustainability metrics that will transform the environmental and social impact of technology supply chains.
