For example, ENGIE Impact will continue to provide the data disclosures necessary for Verizon’s reporting into the Carbon Data Project (CDP) as well as supporting the company’s ENERGY STAR® programs. This collaboration has help Verizon earn the EPA’s ENERGY STAR®Partner of the Year Award for Sustained Excellence every year since 2015.
“As Verizon continues strengthening its sustainability commitments and improving the energy efficiency of its operations, the development of robust data-driven operational insights is more important than it’s ever been” said Anthony Calderan, Director - Energy and Sustainability at Verizon. “With more than a decade of institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of the complexity of the telecom industry, ENGIE Impact provides us with the enterprise-wide detailed data and analysis needed to identify the opportunities and risks associated with specific strategies feeding our sustainability goals.”
