| Our environmental goals for employees, customers, and shareholders are described in the following policy statement:
| "Verizon companies shall conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner and provide employees with a safe and healthy workplace. All employees, as well as others who conduct business on behalf of a Verizon company, shall comply with all applicable Company programs and Federal, State and Local laws and requirements relating to protection of the environment or human safety and health.

| To support this policy, Verizon will:
|
 | Improve its environmental performance on a continuous basis by performing periodic reviews of its environmental programs | | Undertake voluntary initiatives that exceed applicable laws and regulations where appropriate | | Encourage its suppliers to implement similar environmental practices | | Communicate with employees, customers, suppliers, public officials, and shareholders on its environmental issues and the Company's environmental activities | | Provide adequate financial and human resources to maintain the corporate environmental management system |
These programs contribute to our competitive advantage and profitable growth strategies.
