American Tower Releases Science-Based Emissions Targets
American Tower announced Oct. 25 new targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% before 2035, compared to 2019 levels.
The real estate investment trust also announced that the targets are science-based and have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative for being in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. American Tower is also targeting a 40% reduction in Scope 3 emissions during that same timeframe.
“Since setting goals to reduce our diesel consumption and related scope 1 emissions in 2017, we have made targeted investments in energy solutions that have enabled us to avoid using millions of liters of diesel per year,” CEO Tom Bartlett said in a statement. “Adopting SBTs, which expand our GHG reduction goals beyond scope 1, is a critical step in our sustainability journey and a reflection of our continued dedication to addressing climate change.”
