NYNEX U.K. Promotes Environmental Responsibility

UNITED KINGDOM -- With offices worldwide, NYNEX strives towards balancing customer needs with environmental leadership. In Britain, for example, one of the ways in which NYNEX maintains this balance is by considering trees and their root systems when installing new underground telephone cable.

NYNEX is committed to a policy that guides construction away from trees during the earliest stages of planning. However, when construction involving trees and root systems is unavoidable, NYNEX adheres to a code established with arboriculturist experts, local authorities, the Department of the Environment and the national Cable Communications Association.

The strict and detailed policy calls for systematic measuring of root systems, proper hand-digging and backfilling methods, and regular inspections by experts. These are just a few of the ways NYNEX optimally serves its customers while ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding environment.
