CenturyLink and the Environment

CenturyLink is actively making choices to lessen our impact on the environment, while offering our customers solutions that enable them to do the same. Our goal is to help ensure the long-term health of our environment, joining with consumers and businesses who are focusing on ways to promote and practice the intelligent use of resources.

Information presented includes reports from CenturyLink, as well as Qwest Communications, which CenturyLink acquired in 2011.

Environmental Sustainability Council

CenturyLink has facilitated collaboration across the company with the goal of identifying and implementing actionable "greening" initiatives. This collaboration aims to reduce CenturyLink’s carbon footprint and evaluate the ongoing economic feasibility of our green initiatives.

Carbon Disclosure Project

For the past three years, Qwest has submitted its carbon inventory to the Carbon Disclosure (CDP). The CDP is an independent, not-for-profit organization that aims to create an ongoing relationship and meaningful dialogue between shareholders and corporations about the implications of climate change.

Partnerships

Partnering with other industries, groups and communities is imperative when it comes to environmental sustainability. That's why CenturyLink has joined forces with others on many of its initiatives.
