Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Here are the oil and coal companies, Fortune 500 corporations, and Republicans who want to stay in the Paris agreement ExxonMobil, Apple, Google, and hundreds of other firms support the climate pact, as do some GOP members of Congress Here are some of the Fortune 500 companies that signed onto the ads or letter or have otherwise expressed support for Paris: Amazon Apple Bank of America Berkshire Hathaway Campbell Soup Citigroup Dow Chemical DuPont eBay Facebook Gap General Mills General Motors General Electric Goldman Sachs Google The Hartford HP Hilton Intel Johnson & Johnson Kellogg Microsoft Monsanto Morgan Stanley Nike NRG Energy PG&E Salesforce Staples Starbucks Symantec Walmart Wells Fargo More than 280 institutional investors that together manage more than $17 trillion in assets, including Allianz Global Investors, CalPERS, and HSBC Global Asset Management, recently signed a letter emphasizing their strong support for the Paris agreement. "The implementation of effective climate policy mechanisms and the regular monitoring of outcomes is vital for investors to make well-informed investment decisions that can also better support governments in delivering their national commitments and priorities," they wrote. More than a dozen Republicans in Congress support staying in the climate deal. Separately, more than 1,000 companies, big and small, signed a letter calling for the U.S. to “realize the Paris Agreement’s commitment of a global economy that limits global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius.” Altogether, businesses backing the Paris climate agreement represent more than $3.7 trillion in annual revenues and employ nearly 8.6 million workers, according to Ceres. https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/05/31/Here-are-the-oil-and-coal-companies-Fortune-500-corporations-and-Republicans-who-want-to-s/216719 GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatigay 21,209 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I mean if there can be ONE benefit in Drumpf withdrawing from the deal, is that the organs of the country ally against his stance and make more efforts towards the low-carbon goals.. ALSO: it would be illogical for them to agree with Drumpf, considering all their international investors; they would lose so much credibility, both towards Stocks and Customers views Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
