At Verizon, we're using our technology to solve pressing social issues—creating value for our shareowners, our employees and our communities.
Education
Kids have a natural interest in smartphones and tablets, but not all kids have access to them. That's why our programs combine technology and hands-on experiences to spark a passion for learning, especially in those students who need it the most.

Revolutionizing the Classroom
Through our 24 Verizon Innovative Learning Schools, we're partnering with teachers on how to effectively integrate mobile technology into all aspects of the learning process. As a result, we've seen average standardized math test scores rise by more than 4 percent for two years at the schools that have been surveyed. And that's not all.

We've installed 22 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell and solar photovoltaic systems, with 2.4MW more on the way. That's equivalent to 2,700 homes' electricity for a year — eliminating 20,000 metric tons of CO2.
Cutting Carbon Intensity
All of our energy efficiency strategies support our ultimate goal of cutting our carbon intensity in half by 2020. That's the amount of carbon emissions emitted compared to the amount of information moving across our networks.
