Verizon is consistently recognized by many outside organizations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as a responsible corporate citizen, committed to sustainability. How important is this to you?

"I believe that environmental quality and sustainability are key defining issues within the telecommunications industry. Today, many companies are judged by potential consumers and employees by their positions on issues like these. For example, I'm very impressed by Verizon's commitment to reducing its carbon intensity and helping customers lower their carbon emissions. This speaks to the corporate commitment to sustainability and empowers Verizon's customers to make a difference for the greater good."

"This is an important issue to me, and I believe Verizon is making tremendous strides in leading the telecommunications industry in the direction of sustainability and cognizance of its effect on the world. This is a must-do in today's business environment when end-users of your products and services expect companies to be socially and environmentally responsible. Investing in green energy and offering a device recycling program are just two ways Verizon encourages sustainability at the corporate level and empowers its consumers to be part of the sustainability movement."
