American Tower has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 40% by 2035 from a 2019 base year. These Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments for Scope 1 and 2 are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C. The company's Scope 1 reduction target was reported to be on track for both two-year and five-year assessments. However, their Scope 2 and Scope 3 targets were not on track for the two-year and five-year assessments.
