CHICAGO, Ill. – For the third consecutive year, the Carbon Disclosure Project recognized Boeing as one of the world’s leading companies in reporting climate-change risks and taking actions to improve environmental performance.
The Carbon Disclosure Project, an investor-funded nonprofit organization that produces the most comprehensive survey of global corporate carbon emissions, listed The Boeing Company in its 2011 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index.
“We’ve seen many instances where environmental improvements have resulted in cost savings, productivity gains and fuel-efficient new products,” said Mary Armstrong, Boeing vice president of Environment, Health and Safety. “Focusing on the environment has enabled us to develop the next generation of aerospace products, pioneer research into cleaner fuels, improve the efficiency of the global air traffic management system to reduce the global carbon footprint of air travel, and invest in new technologies to create a brighter future.”
