Companies are increasingly capitalizing on these opportunities to generate revenues while also reducing the impact of their products on the environment.


“We view the opportunities presented by emissions reporting obligations and voluntary agreements as a way to demonstrate Campbell’s executional leadership among our peers. We also see these as opportunities to demonstrate our leadership and transparency with stakeholders that include our customers, suppliers, consumers, and policymakers. In order to manage these opportunities we seek to work with our suppliers and take advantage of efficiencies that either they implement or we implement in our transportation and logistics systems. We have also instituted a smart way certification requirement for our shippers and have recently launched a sustainability scorecard across our North American logistics network.” Campbell Soup


“Increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and services has led Best Buy to provide new energy efficient products and a means to recycle old products. We helped our U.S. Best Buy customers purchase over 22 million ENERGY STAR® qualified products in calendar year 2010 and encouraged our vendors to participate in the ENERGY STAR program. In calendar 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated that our sales of these products resulted in customer savings of 1.12 billion kilowatt hours of energy, generating over US$120 million in electric utility bill savings, while preventing over 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.” Best Buy

“We are utilizing a number of methods to highlight the potential fuel economy and cost benefits of our transportation products. In 2010, Alcoa Wheel and Transportation Products released an updated version of its online tool called “Calcu-Lighter”; which helps truck fleets and owners instantly calculate their potential fuel and GHG savings and return on investment when comparing wheel options. New Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and GHG emissions standards could potentially double the demand for our transportation products by 2015.” Alcoa
