A TRUER CONNECTION
Lowell McAdam
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Verizon Communications
“We see expanding opportunities to build truer connections
with our customers and communities by using our unique
platforms to meet crucial needs across America and the world.
Verizon will create new and more eective products, solutions
and processes that will make us an even more valuable
partner to our customers, communities and shareowners.”
Dear Shareowner,
The enduring source of Verizon’s value is the central role we play in an industry vital to the
global economy and deeply embedded in the lives of our customers. Whether it’s through
iconic products that improve people’s lives, creative strategies that open new markets and
expand access to technology, collaborations that promote innovation or initiatives that
apply our technology to urgent social issues, Verizon is the standard-bearer for the industry
and a leader in delivering the benefits of our empowering technology to the world. We
have extraordinary assets and a leadership team committed to thinking in the broadest
sense about how to use our potential to solve problems and move the world forward.
As we look ahead, we are taking steps to
use these great assets in big ways for big
results — creating value for shareowners
and showing the immense power of
our industry to benefit society.
For Verizon, our most exciting growth
opportunities occur where business and
social interests intersect. You will read about
both in this report, which for the first time
combines our annual report with highlights of
our corporate responsibility initiatives. Under
the rubric of “shared success,” we are using
our technological and philanthropic resources
to address the world’s unmet social and
environmental needs. In the process, we’re
fueling the social innovation that will open
new markets, drive our growth and reinforce
Verizon’s vital role in the digital world.
