We're reaffirming our support for the agreement and our commitment to fighting climate change.
Climate Change
This is our fourth consecutive year on the prestigious list.
CDP named us to the Climate A List for the third time.
Best Buy’s director of environmental sustainability and compliance, Alexis Ludwig-Vogen, will be attending COP24.
Best Buy has been recognized as a global leader in addressing climate change, securing a spot on the prestigious CDP Climate A List for the second time.
Laura Bishop spoke to educators from Climate Generation at COP21 about the role of business in climate change.
Just two weeks ago, 187 countries gathered in Paris and unanimously agreed to reduce their carbon emissions to confront climate change. I witnessed this historic achievement and returned home both energized and hopeful. Here’s why:
Our world is united.
This remarkable agreement resulted from the public and private sectors working together to forge a global pact to keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), with a target of below 1.5 C (2.7 F).
Best Buy has been awarded a prized position on the CDP Climate A List for our efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the past year.
The commendation puts Best Buy in the top 5 percent of thousands of companies that submit annual emissions data and climate management strategies to CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project).
We are in good company. Other corporate “A Listers” now include sustainability powerhouses and partners such as Apple, Google, LG, Microsoft, Samsung, Sony and Sprint.
The A List designation comes shortly after Best Buy set a new goal to reduce carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2020 and signed the American Business Act Pledge on Climate Change.
Today we are proud that Best Buy is joining other leading U.S. companies in signing the American Business Act Pledge on Climate Change.
This is an historic moment for Best Buy. In our pledge, we committed to further advancing our efforts toward addressing this global challenge. Here’s what we said:
- We will reduce our own carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2020 from operational reductions and renewable sourcing. This science-based goal builds on our 2014 achievement of a 26 percent reduction in carbon emissions within our operations.
