Vertical Bridge, the largest private owner and operator of communications infrastructure in the United States, announced that it has realized 100 percent carbon neutrality for the third consecutive year.
The Company began a proactive review of its environmental footprint in 2020 which resulted in its initial CarbonNeutral® Certification that year and the subsequent renewal in 2021.
Vertical Bridge currently supports two projects in North America that reduce and remove greenhouse gases and are focused on nature-based climate solutions and recovery, including Mississippi Valley Reforestation, which reforests more than 2.4 million acres of native woodland in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley, and Darkwoods Forest Conservation, which protects 156,000 acres of boreal forests in British Columbia, Canada from environmental threats.
The company also supports wind power projects in Mexico and several global renewable energy projects. In April, Vertical Bridge partnered with the South Florida Audubon Society for a coastal restoration project and donated $10,000 to the organization to support its conservation work in South Florida.

U.S. carriers and other telecommunications entities are working to reduce their environmental impacts as well as the impact of entities in their value chain, and Vertical Bridge is focused on being a partner in this journey. Environmentally-conscious initiatives have been a core part of our daily operations since our founding in 2014, and we are committed to remaining an industry leader.
