Climate Counts is a collaborative effort to bring consumers and companies together in the fight against global climate change.
You can use the Climate Counts Company Scorecard to see how serious companies are about stopping climate change - and how they compare to their sector competitors. The annually updated scorecard reflects the self-reported efforts of companies to address climate change - or avoid it altogether. The higher the score, the greater the company's commitment to fighting global warming. |
