We enable connectivity for millions of people and organizations across the country with our communications infrastructure, supporting economic, technological and social advancement in communities. Our sustainability efforts continue to be a key part of who we are—down to our colocation business model.

With our extensive reach across the US and our resilient portfolio of infrastructure assets, we have a unique opportunity to create long-term value for many years to come. Looking ahead, we will add to our strong foundation and continue to operate conscientiously with our teammates, environment and communities in mind.

For over 30 years, our shared communications infrastructure model has enabled us to sustainably meet the growing need for connectivity with the use of fewer resources. Our inherently sustainable business model1 allows us to build once and then leverage the same assets to serve multiple customers at the same time—benefiting not only our customers, but also the environment and our communities.

05 bar letter from our ceo

A core tenet of our business model is to utilize our existing assets as many times as possible to generate the highest returns on our investments. Our focus on maximizing the value of already-existing assets also leads to reduced costs for our customers and reduced impact on the environment and the communities in which we operate.
