SC Johnson has received a Climate Leadership Award for Excellence in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Management (Goal Achievement). The inaugural Climate Leadership Awards recognize corporate, organizational and individual leadership in addressing climate change and reducing GHGs.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO), the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) (formerly the Pew Center on Global Climate Change) and The Climate Registry (TCR) will present the awards at the Climate Leadership Conference Awards Galain Fort Lauderdale, FL.
From setting and exceeding aggressive emissions reduction goals, to reducing the emissions associated with shipping goods, the first inaugural Climate Leadership Awards recognize organizations that are improving efficiency, identifying energy- and cost-saving opportunities, and reducing pollution.
"I commend SC Johnson on its exemplary leadership in cutting carbon pollution that harms our climate and threatens our health," said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. "SC Johnson and all of our Climate Leadership Award winners demonstrate that organizations who are taking action to mitigate climate change are also operating more efficiently, more innovatively and more competitively."
