On Monday, Shares of Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG), gain 0.71% to $78.38.
Kellogg, Sony , Coca-Cola Enterprises and a group of other companies have committed to targets certified by independent assessors to cut their carbon emissions, they said on Tuesday, according to Reuters
The initiative came as negotiators gathered in Paris try to reach an accord on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and is intended to go beyond the often vague promises of corporate action on the issue.
U.N. Global Compact, a voluntary U.N. scheme, and non-governmental organisations counting the U.S.-based World Resources Institute (WRI) have been attempting to persuade business to set carbon aims since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997.
The WRI and its partner organisations said more than 100 companies had committed within the next two years to set targets, assessed on the basis of U.N. standards as a meaningful contribution to warding off a global average temperature rise of more than 2 degrees Celsius, viewed as a threshold for potentially catastrophic climate change.
Coca-Cola Enterprises (the European bottling partner of Coca-Cola Co ), Dell, Enel, General Mills , Kellogg, NRG Energy, Procter & Gamble, Sony and Thalys have already had aims approved equating to nearly 2 billion barrels of oil not burned over the lifetime of their targets. Reuters Report
