Eight major companies were recognized by the EPA or the Environmental Protection Agency for implementing the Climate Leaders program and successfully reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to those eight companies, the EPA has also commended 27 other companies for announcing its respective plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

With their stringent measures to reduce their emissions, the eight companies are reducing a total of around 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year.

According to Lisa P. Jackson, the current administrator of EPA, the efforts made by these responsible climate leaders emphasize the fact that the environment’s condition does not need to be compromised in order to attain economic progress. Lisa Jackson adds that these companies are doing their part to prevent the negative effects of climate change and at the same time empowering their consumers to support the environment by making more responsible choices.

The companies who have achieved their long term goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions include the following:

• Coors Brewing Company
• Anheuser-Bush Companies, Inc
• Bank of America Corp
• Eastman Kodak Company
• First Environment Inc
• Shaklee Corp
• Roche Group US
• Gap Inc
