“EPA’s Climate Leaders are some of the largest and most competitive companies in manufacturing, finance, information technology and other major sectors of the economy,” said EPA administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “They’re proving that they can be both industry leaders, and leaders in the fight against climate change.”
As the country’s largest GHG goal-setting program, Climate Leaders is an EPA industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. Launched in 2002, the program has expanded to 284 companies that represent more than eight percent of total annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
