CDP, a global environmental impact nonprofit, has named Phoenix-based Republic Services to the Climate “A List” in recognition of its science-based goals, strategies and actions to lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate risks.
CDP's annual rankings recognize global companies that are pioneers for action on climate change, water and deforestation. In 2019, CDP scored more than 8,400 companies, with only the top 2 percent making the A List.
"Republic Services is a model for true corporate sustainability leadership," said Bruno Sarda, president of CDP North America. "Climate change is an undeniable business risk if unaddressed, and we must transition to a low-carbon economy now to avoid the worst impacts. A List companies know sustainability presents an exciting race to the top, an opportunity to innovate and rethink business as usual, proving that environmental responsibility simply makes good business sense."
In 2019, Republic announced a new set of long-term goals designed to address critical global macro trends related to the company's most important sustainability risks and opportunities. These goals also align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). More information on Republic’s commitment to sustainability can be found here.
