General Electric Co. and Staples Inc. are among companies cited by an environment group for acting to cut emissions tied to global warming after Congress failed to pass climate-change legislation.
The World Wildlife Fund issued a report today, written in part by McKinsey & Co., that named GE and Staples as companies that improved by financial performance by tackling climate change. Investing in low-carbon energy sources, curbs on energy use and installation of modern heating or cooling technologies can help both the Earth and corporate balance sheets, according to the report.
