Shareholders, customers and the media want to know whether companies are facing up to the reality of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) costs. Are they preparing for the future with their own climate change policy and a CO2-reduction plan?
Business has a vital role in implementing technologies that reduce CO2 emissions. Making increasingly better use of resources in manufacturing processes and creating better-performing products with ever-lower energy demands is becoming part of normal business practice as the cost of CO2 emissions rise.WWF is working with cutting-edge companies keen to turn necessity into a business advantage.
We believe there are enormous opportunities for businesses to improve their standing and their bottom line through actions that cut CO2 emissions. We argue that the actions companies need to take to improve their energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions are entirely compatible with their aim of improving shareholder and stakeholder value.
WWF has set up Climate Savers to strike deals with leading corporations prepared to make innovative new commitments. The current agreements are with Johnson & Johnson, IBM, Nike, Polaroid, Collins, Xanterra, Hewlett Packard (United States), Nokia (Finland), Nokia Siemens Networks, Sagawa, Sony (Japan), Lafarge (France), Catalyst (Canada), Tetra Pak (Sweden), Spitsbergen Travel (Norway) and Novo Nordisk (Denmark). All of these companies have pledged to reduce their global warming emissions considerably.
