ADTRAN Sets Sight on Carbon Neutrality with SBTi-Endorsed Goals

In a significant move towards environmental sustainability, ADTN, a prominent provider of networking and communications solutions, has publicly announced its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2048 across its entire value chain. This ambitious objective includes SBTi-approved targets, which solidify ADTN's dedication to playing a vital role in the fight against climate change.

Networking Industry's Climate Action

The announcement by ADTN places it among a growing number of companies within the networking sector that are taking definitive steps toward sustainability. Competitors like Cisco Systems, Inc. CSCO, Juniper Networks, Inc. JNPR, and NETGEAR, Inc. NTGR are also making various efforts to reduce their carbon footprints and embrace greener operations. ADTN's strategy includes a comprehensive review and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, not only within its own operations but also throughout its suppliers and product life cycles.

International Reach and Responsibilities

Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, ADTN serves an international clientele, including the United States, Germany, Mexico, and beyond. This global presence brings a responsibility to lead by example in sustainable practices. Similarly, CSCO, with its reincorporation in Delaware and a strong Silicon Valley heritage, along with JNPR and NTGR, who also operate internationally from their California bases, acknowledge the importance of global corporate citizenship in the pursuit of sustainability.

As these companies move forward, their actions are likely to shape not only their individual futures but also the standards and practices of the industry at large. By committing to net-zero targets and having their goals validated by the SBTi, ADTN underscores its position as a conscientious leader in the tech and networking landscape.
