在一个由美国投资公司支持的智利保护区,象海豹已经脱离了濒临灭绝的危险。 (Goldman Sachs)

减少碳排放;提高能源效率;发展可持续供应链——这些听起来像是环保组织的议事日程。然而实际上,它们是美国一些大公司正在国内外采取的行动。负责任的环境政策已经成为企业文化的重要成分。

嘉吉公司的培训师帮助小农户提高技能,保护作物以及家庭和农场的可持续性。 (Cargill)

大型食品和农产品公司嘉吉公司(Cargill)向西非、印尼和巴西的农民作出了“可可承诺”(Cocoa Promise):它培训种植可可的农民,支持可可种植业社区,并确保可可长期、可持续的生产。它的培训小组已经为成千上万农民提供了帮助。

卡鲁金卡保护区保护着智利最大的野生羊驼。它们是南美洲最大的哺乳类动物之一,与南美羊驼和美洲驼同类。 (Goldman Sachs)

在南美洲最南端,智利有着近30万公顷的生态多彩多姿的卡鲁金卡(Karukinka)自然保护区。由于高盛投资公司(Goldman Sachs)和野生动物保护协会(Wildlife Conservation Society)对它作出永久保护承诺, 那里的森林和野生动物会继续茂盛兴旺。卡鲁金卡巨大的泥炭沼能够吸碳,从而有助于减少空气中的碳,为阻止气候变化发挥作用。

美国铝业公司在中国的渤海赞助植树活动。 (Alcoa)

“千万棵树”(Ten Million Trees)是由美国著名的铝生产企业美国铝业公司(Alcoa)赞助的一项影响深远的植树活动。十多年来,公司位于许多遥远厂家的员工参加植树,帮助减少空气中的二氧化碳。

这些美国公司——其中还包括谷歌(Google)、苹果(Apple)和沃尔玛(Walmart)等,作出了“美国商企气候承诺行动”(American Business Act on Climate Pledge)。迄今已有13个大公司加入行动。通过减少排放及转为使用清洁能源,这些企业为奥巴马政府的计划——到2030年将美国的温室气体排放量削减至少32%——作出了贡献。


Look who else is going green

Reducing carbon emissions. Increasing energy efficiency. Developing sustainable supply chains. Sounds like an environmental group’s agenda, doesn’t it? But these are actions that major U.S. corporations are taking at home and abroad. Responsible environmental policies have found their place in corporate culture in a big way.

Cargill trainers help small farmers build skills to sustain their crops, their families and their farms. (Cargill)

Cargill, a major food and agricultural products concern, has made farmers in West Africa, Indonesia and Brazil a Cocoa Promise.  It trains cocoa farmers, supports cocoa-farming communities, and assures the long-term, sustainable production of cocoa. Training teams already have helped tens of thousands of farmers.

Karukinka protects Chile’s largest guanaco population. One of the largest mammal species in South America, the guanaco is related to alpacas and llamas. (Goldman Sachs)

The ecologically diverse Karukinka protected area in Chile sprawls across almost 300,000 hectares at the tip of South America. Forests and wildlife will continue to thrive there because the Goldman Sachs investment firm and the Wildlife Conservation Society have pledged to protect it forever. Karukinka’s huge peat bogs are a big hedge against climate change because they trap carbon and prevent its release into the atmosphere.

Alcoa sponsored a tree-planting event in Bohai, China. (Alcoa)

Ten Million Trees is a far-reaching tree-planting campaign sponsored by Alcoa, the U.S. company best known for producing aluminum. For more than a decade, Alcoa workers at many of its far-flung enterprises have planted trees to help draw carbon from the atmosphere.

These companies and others, such as Google, Apple and Walmart, have taken the American Business Act on Climate Pledge. So far, 13 major corporations have signed on. By reducing emissions and converting to clean energy, these businesses contribute to the Obama administration’s plan to cut America’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 32 percent by 2030.
