Petroleum
BP announced
it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by over nine million tonnes
eight years ahead of target, at no net cost to the company. The 10 percent
reduction was to Kyoto-equivalent standards. CEO made the announcement
in March, 2002 in a keynote address at Stanford University.
Nike
Nike has stepped
out front with a series of bold, innovative goals for 2020: Eliminating
the concept of waste in product design; eliminating all susbstances know
or suspected to be harmful to human health or the health of ecosystems;
taking full responsibility (cradle-to-cradle) for its products at all
stages; developing financial structures that promote greater product stewardship
and new financial models to reflect the full cost of doing business. The
process of getting there is making daily changes in the way Nike works.
