Companies Address Energy Efficiency in Operations, Supply Chains & Product Offerings

Apr 22, 2016 1:30 PM ET

A new whitepaper, Accountability for Climate Action: How Corporations Are Tackling Climate Change, shows that businesses are a powerful force in addressing climate change, with a large majority making commitments to increase energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions or increase the use of renewables. Findings show more than 50 percent of large companies offer products differentiated by low carbon footprint or impact on emissions reductions. 

This report, by Ingersoll Rand and GreenBiz, is based on a survey of business leaders. The survey explored types of commitments made, strategies companies are following and how these vary by size and type of company.
