22018/2019AT&T CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY SUMMARYProgress Toward GoalsAs we near or reach attainment on several of our goals, we’ll be setting our sights even higher –identifying new measures that continue to push us and reflect the direction of our evolving business.OUR NETWORK AND CUSTOMERSPROGRESSGOAL2020GOALWe will continue to drive reductionsin emissions and increases inresource efficiency and alternativeenergy deployment. We will enableAT&T customers to lead moresustainable lives by expandingaccess to technology, furtherintegrating sustainability solutionsinto products and measuringthe impacts.Scope 1 EmissionsReduce our Scope 1 GHG emissions20% by 2020using a 2008 baseline of 1,354,054 metric tons CO2e.Reduced by 24.7%We emitted 1,019,696 metric tons CO2e in 2018. Year-over-year,our Scope 1 GHG emissions are down 4.6% from 2017.Electricity IntensityReduce electricity consumption 60%by 2020 relative to data trafficon our network (our energy intensity metric) usinga 2013 baseline of 233 MWh electricity/petabyte ofnetwork traffic.Reduced by 78%Our energy intensity was 51 MWh electricity/petabytein 2018.1Fleet ManagementReduce U.S. fleet emissions 30%using a 2008 baseline of 865,777 metric tons CO2e.Reduced by 26%Our U.S. fleet emitted 638,189 metric tons CO2e in 2018. Yearover-year, our fleet emissions are down 7.5% from 2017.Alternative EnergyExpand alternative energythrough on-site capacity and pursuing off-site renewables.Invested in up to 820 MW of wind powerIn 2018, we invested in up to 820 MW of wind power throughagreements with subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources,the world’s largest operator of renewable energy projects.Our Bloom natural gas fuel cells bring our totalon-site alternative energy capacity to 50.8 MW.1 In 2018 and going forward, we include satellite traffic in our total network traffic (total production). Prior to this addition, our 2018 energy intensitymetric would have been 100 MWh/PB. Learn more about how we calculate total traffic for our energy intensity in our Energy Management issue brief.

We also continueto leverage our technology to identify opportunities foradditional improvements in operational efficiency.Customer EnablementDeliver customer solutionsto achieve a net-positive ratio between our operationalfootprint and the carbon reductions our technologymakes possible for customers using our services.Enabled reductions 2X our footprintAt the end of 2018, we calculated that AT&T technologyenabled customer GHG emissions reduction approximately2 times the GHG emissions footprint of our operations.

62018/2019AT&T CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY SUMMARYProgress Toward Goals continuedOUR SUPPLY CHAINPROGRESSGOAL2020GOALWe will lead our supplychain to improve its socialand environmental impactsby integrating sustainabilityperformance metrics into oursourcing decisions for 80% ofour spend. 3Sustainable Sourcing StandardsIncorporate sustainability-orientedsourcing standardsand analysis into sourcing decisions with strategicsuppliers by the end of 2018.Conducted supplier assessments and auditsIn 2018, AT&T Global Connections and Supply Chain continuedto require suppliers to adhere to our Principles of Conduct ForSuppliers through our Supplier Portal and supplier contractagreements. We received over 200 sustainability assessmentsfrom suppliers during 2018. We led 5 on-site supplier factoryaudits as a member of JAC. AT&T continues to make progresswith efforts including the incorporation of sustainability clausesinto RFPs and agreements, training our sourcing managerson the principles of sustainability, and providing updates tosourcing managers on the sustainability performance ofexisting suppliers. During 2018, we also provided sourcingmanagers with access to third-party supplier sustainabilityreports for use in sourcing decision-making for suppliers. AT&Twill continue to expand incorporation of sustainability-orientedstandards and analyses into sourcing decisions.3 This goal is focused on network, consumer equipment and corporate services spend, and does not include video content and entertainment companies.

During 2018, we usedthis tool with our suppliers, replacing a proprietary AT&Tsupplier scorecard. CDP: AT&T annually notifies about 450 of our strategicsuppliers, representing 80% of our spend, to respond tothe CDP supply chain survey and report on GHG emissions.Using industry-accepted methods, we gather theiremissions data, reduction goals and associated progress. Joint Audit Cooperation (JAC): We worked with JACto conduct 5 Corporate Social Responsibility Audits ofour suppliers’ manufacturing facilities. JAC membertelecommunications companies share supplier auditresults, allowing for improvement while reducing supplieraudit fatigue. Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council (SPLC):AT&T uses guidance documents produced by the SPLC,which evaluates sustainable purchasing standards andtools in the market and publishes guidance for conductingRFx evaluations.
