Crown Castle Releases 2020 ESG Report

HOUSTON, Dec. 08, 2021

HOUSTON, Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Castle International Corp. (NYSE: CCI) ("Crown Castle" or "Company") announced today the release of its 2020 Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Report. This year’s report highlights Crown Castle’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility, with information and progress on the Company’s carbon neutral goal announced earlier this quarter, an expanded workforce diversity disclosure, a new diverse supplier spending goal, and details on the strength and diversity of the Company’s Board of Directors.

"The focus of our ESG journey is to build on our inherently sustainable business model, as we have done this year by establishing carbon neutral and supplier diversity spending goals and by continuing to foster an inclusive culture, where a more diverse workforce, comprised of unique perspectives, can thrive," stated Jay Brown, Crown Castle’s Chief Executive Officer. "Since the recent announcement of our goal to be carbon neutral by 2025 in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, we have contracted to source more than 60% of our anticipated 2022 electricity consumption with renewable energy, putting us well on our way to reaching our goal."

Additionally, the 2020 ESG Report expands upon the prior two Corporate Sustainability Reports by adding EEO-1 data and a Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures (TCFD) index, while continuing to provide Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosures.
