the company has set a goal to be carbon-neutral by 2025 in Scope 1 and 2 emissions. According to the Carbon Trust, Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company. Crown Castle said it would achieve its objective through a combination of continued investment in energy reduction initiatives, sourcing renewable energy, and, to a lesser extent, using carbon credits or offsets.
