Many of our BELC companies have greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Some of these companies have achieved their targets and are currently evaluating new goals, while other companies are considering first-time targets. To learn more about the process of GHG target-setting, please read the Pew Report: Corporate Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets (pdf). [1]
