Fact Sheet: U.S. Climate Action in 2009-2010 - Article
While federal climate change legislation has stalled, federal agencies, states, and Congress made some progress on controlling greenhouse gas emissions in the past two years. This fact sheet reviews notable steps taken by the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, and through stimulus funding, international finance commitments, regional cap-and-trade programs, and state energy policies. It also identifies political and economic developments that could impact federal climate legislation and additional regulatory action to reduce emissions by federal agencies. Download the fact sheet.
Frequently Injured: Fire the Person or Fix the Problem? - Article
Frequently injured workers have been classified as frequent flyers, accident-prone or at-risk. While the classification has been created, unfortunately, very few corporations have effective tools to help these individuals. Instead, the typical path of progressive discipline begins. Rarely is this the answer.
Walmart, H&M Commit to Sustainability in Chinese Textiles - Article
Two of the world’s largest clothing retailers, Walmart and H&M, agreed to work with their Chinese textile suppliers to reduce the water, energy, and chemical use in their supply chains through the Natural Resource Defense Council’s “Clean by Design“ project. So far, trial implementations at textile plants have shown that NRDC’s recommended practices can pay for themselves in less than eight months.
The Dairy Industry and the 2 Percent Solution - Article
Calculating, managing, and reducing the emissions of everyday products is a growing quest for companies across the business spectrum. But most products are multi-company affairs. So, it's one thing for a company to do this. It's altogether another thing to address climate change across an entire industry. That's what's happening in the dairy industry, where a vast and complex web of players has come together to address their individual and collective climate - um, hoofprint. The exercise underscores both the complexity of industrial systems and the need for collaboration to measure environmental impacts, share best practices, and optimize the entire process.
Focus on Progress, Not Perfection, in Sustainability Stories - Article
Just because your sustainability efforts are not perfect yet, does not mean that you don’t have a great story to tell. Simple actions register strongly with consumers.
When Pigs Fly: Halliburton Makes the Dow Jones Sustainability Index - Blog
Halliburton Co. has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North American companies in the global oil services sector. While the Index’s recent exclusion of BP was seen as a correct, the listing of Halliburton has drawn the confusion and frustration of many.
