Corporations Move to Curb Global Warming
More than 100 companies - including brand-name firms like #Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc., HP Inc., #JohnsonandJohnson, #LOreal SA’s American division and #salesforcecom inc. - in a letter endorsed the Paris deal and US EPA’s #CleanPowerPlan. The regulation was a critical component for US negotiators to secure international support during the Paris talks.
In a separate supportive statement, more than 400 #institutionalinvestors together managing more than $24 trillion in assets urged governments to support the expansion of low-carbon fuel sources, establish 'economically meaningful' carbon prices and craft plans to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. A handful of energy-industry companies operating in the US market - #BerkshireHathaway Energy, #Calpine Corp., #PGE Corp., #RioTinto PLC, #RoyalDutchShell PLC and #Siemens AG among them - urged politicians to move swiftly to enforce the #ParisAgreement, too.
