"U.S. Companies Act On Climate Despite Trump: Survey" [1]

"OSLO - U.S. companies are still among the most ambitious in setting targets to combat global warming despite President Donald Trump’s plans to quit the 195-nation Paris climate agreement, a 2017 survey showed on Tuesday.

U.S.-based firms made up a fifth of those in a 2017 “A list” of 159 companies judged to have ambitious policies on limiting climate change and protecting water resources and forests, according to London-based non-profit CDP.

This made U.S. firms the biggest single national group and was similar to levels in 2016, according to CDP, which tracks companies’ environmental performance and was formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project."

Reuters had the story October 23, 2017. [2]
