Colleen Richards Powell, SVP & Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at American Tower, visited our offices in Germany and Spain, as she did last year in France. “It was amazing to see how our teams in Europe are a living example of how people work together across differences to achieve common goals. This is the power of our diverse workforce. It was also important to me to hear firsthand their thoughts and ideas about how to advance an inclusive workforce at ATC. DEI ensures each of us has access and makes our vision of building a more connected world a reality,” said Colleen.    Respect and inclusion are at the core of American Tower's culture and strategy, enabling us to harness diversity for fresh business ideas and stronger customer connections while leveraging local talent across our global footprint.   #DEI #Workforce #ElevateATC #BuildingaMoreConnectedWorld

Celebrated every June 5, World Environment Day calls for action from governments, businesses and individuals worldwide to promote sustainability. This year’s celebration has a focus on actions related to land restoration, desertification and drought resilience.     At American Tower, we recognize the importance of forests in preserving biodiversity, purifying air and water, preventing soil erosion, ensuring freshwater security and mitigating climate change. That’s why we joined the World Economic Forum’s 1t.org platform, a pledge to plant one trillion trees by 2030. In collaboration with American Forests, local governments and other organizations, we facilitated the planting of over 150,000 trees in 2023. By partnering with local organizations, the types of trees and planting locations are tailored to local needs. Our efforts span far and wide, from planting trees on school grounds to enhancing environmental education and awareness, to promoting food security with fruit-bearing trees, and supporting water management in critical areas. But we don’t do this alone. Our employees, alongside our customers, vendors and partners, actively participate in tree planting efforts. Together, we demonstrate the power of teamwork in safeguarding our planet.    Join us in celebrating World Environment Day 2024. Together, we can shape a more sustainable and connected world.    #BuildingaMoreConnectedWorld #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #Sustainability
