An important step in addressing a crisis is to commit to doing something about it and setting a deadline to take appropriate action. The climate change crisis is a case in point. Ford, General Electric, Xerox and other major companies pledged to slash their carbon emissions by at least 50% by 2030.
According to the Department of Energy, their new “national public-private partnership calls on organizations across the country to set bold, portfolio-wide greenhouse gas reduction targets and share their innovative solutions and best practices with partners and across industries.
“DOE will double down on these commitments by providing technical assistance and convening peer-to-peer exchanges to facilitate solution sharing across their facilities and fleets.”“Companies across America are joining arms to lead the zero-carbon transition through smart, strategic climate solutions that slash building and factory emissions and significantly cut costs,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
The new program could become a role model for others to follow. The agency said that, “If all organizations in the commercial, public, and industrial sectors reduced their U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, it would save nearly 1.
“These commitments harness the collective power of American businesses to carve new pathways to emissions reductions and accelerate progress towards deploying climate solutions across the country and reaching our zero-emissions goals,” she concluded.Today’s announcement is the latest example of increased environmental corporate activism.
