General Motors is the first automaker among 40 major U.S. companies, including IKEA, L’Oréal, Symantec, Unilever, and Adidas, to sign a “Climate Declaration.” They are calling for policymakers to address climate change by promoting clean energy, boosting efficiency, and limiting carbon emissions.
“We want to be a change agent in the auto industry,” said Mike Robinson, vice president of Sustainability and Global Regulatory Affairs at GM. “As our world faces issues like congestion and climate change, we are at the forefront in transforming the way we move, from building more efficient vehicles to partnering with car-sharing startup Relay Rides.”
GM is striving to reduce its environmental footprint and achieve a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2020.
