December 21, 2007—The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently commended more than 150 businesses for working to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to advance the nation’s climate change strategy at the agency’s Climate Leaders conference in Boulder, CO.
Currently the largest corporate greenhouse gas goal-setting program in the US, Climate Leaders has partners located in all 50 states, representing ten percent of US gross domestic product, says EPA.
At the conference, 14 corporate partners announced reduction goals, and 40 organizations were welcomed into the program. In addition, three corporate partners were recognized for recently achieving their long-term greenhouse gas reduction goals, and extending their commitment to climate change management by pledging aggressive follow-up goals: Advanced Micro Devices; Roche Group US Affiliates; and Xerox Corp.
