“The Climate Leadership Award winners have always been at the vanguard of climate action, and this year we honor our Hall of Fame inductees for their outstanding achievements over the past 10 years,” said Amy Holm, Executive Director of The Climate Registry. “The most successful leaders continue to prove that responding to climate change is both good for business and good for the planet.”
“The definition of ‘leadership’ is evolving over time thanks to the ambitious actions and voluntary commitments of companies like these repeat Climate Leadership Award winners,” said Nathaniel Keohane, President of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). “In the past decade, these companies, organizations, and individuals have helped raise the bar time and again–betting on themselves to succeed.
