Verizon

Verizon, a US-based post and telecommunication services provider, reported total emissions of approximately 13.1 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 283.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 878.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 12.0 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

In 2024, their total emissions were approximately 15.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 265.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1.46 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 13.7 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. Looking back to 2019, Verizon's total emissions were approximately 23.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 358.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 4.01 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 19.0 billion kg CO2e.

Verizon has established several climate commitments. They aim to achieve a 53% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 2030, using a 2019 baseline, in line with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Furthermore, Verizon is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions from their value chain by 40% by 2035, also against a 2019 baseline, to limit global warming to well below 2°C. These targets have been recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company also has a long-term goal of achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2035. Additionally, Verizon aims to reduce its carbon intensity by 50% by 2025, compared to a 2016 baseline.
