Many environmental groups
consider the Obama
administration’s plan to regulate
carbon-spewing coal plants, which
aims to cut carbon pollution by
30%, as one of our last chances to
win the fight against cl imate
change.

But the vast majority of their top
corporate partners – companies
like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, FedEx,
UPS, Target and Walmart, which
have worked with environmental
NGOs for years – aren’t backing
them up, according to a Guardian
survey.
The survey consisted of calls and
emails to nearly 50 corporations
that work with three
environmental groups –
Environmental Defense Fund, The
Nature Conservancy and the World
Wildlife Fund US – that have
identified the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Clean Power
Plan as a top priority. These are
Fortune 500 global companies that
tout their sustainabil ity efforts
and celebrate their environmental
partnerships.
It's Hard ToBelieve
Sandra Bullock's SecretReveal! You Will Never
Guess What It Is.
Just three of them – Starbucks,
Mars and Google – support the
Clean Power Plan, which is a
cornerstone of the Obama
administration’s cl imate change
efforts. Caterpil lar and CSX Corp,
a coal-carrying railroad, oppose
the EPA plan. The vast majority
take no position.
The reluctance of companies to
take a stand raises questions
about the depth of partnerships
http://preview.gutools.co.uk/environment/2014/jun/02/obama-rules-coal-climate-change
-
between companies and NGOs. By
remaining quiet, these companies
make it harder for the EPA to roll
out the plan in the face of
vehement opposition from fossil
fuel companies and Republicans.
“Silence isn’t neutral,” says Anne
Kelly of Ceres, who is organizing
companies to support the EPA.
The lack of public support could
jeopardize the clean power plan,
and – if the US isn’t able to make a
strong climate commitment as a
result – could ultimately
undermine the success of the
global cl imate talks in Paris this
year.
The companies that won’t get
involved say it’s because the
regulation of power plant
emissions is not core to their
business. Environmentalists
maintain that cl imate change is
everybody’s business.
The Environmental Defense Fund,
for example, says the EPA Clean
Power Plan is “the most
significant step in US history
toward reducing the pollution that
causes cl imate change”. More
than 480,000 EDF members have
signed petitions backing the EPA.
Fred Krupp, EDF’s president, said:
“Hiding from challenges is not
what Americans do.”
Yet EDF’s corporate partners
would appear to be doing just
that. AT&T, DuPont, KKR,
McDonald’s, Ocean Spray and
Walmart are all sitting out the
debate over what some activists
http://www.edf.org/climate/a-new-federal-clean-power-plan
-
describe as a make-or-break
climate change initiative.
It’s the same story with the
corporate all ies of The Nature
Conservancy and World Wildlife
Fund. Lou Leonard, vice president
for cl imate policy at WWF, says:
“We think that companies should,
absolutely, be engaging on
climate policy.”
Thus far, though, WWF has failed
to bring along its partners,
including such corporate giants as
Bank of America, Coca-Cola and
Procter & Gamble. In an email,
Coca-Cola says: “Our
sustainabil ity priorities are
women, water and well-being – all
areas that tie closely to our
business.” Bank of America, which
helps finance the coal industry,
says by email: “We don’t have any
information to share right now on
the EPA Power Plan.” P&G did not
respond to emails requesting
comment. You can read all the
corporate responses to the
Guardian inquiries here.
Their si lence means the loudest
business voices on climate policy
issues in Washington or the state
capitals come from conservative
trade groups, such as the US
Chamber of Commerce, the
National Association of
Manufacturers and the American
Farm Bureau Federation, which
strongly oppose the EPA’s rules.
The stakes are high. Electric
power plants are the single
largest source of carbon pollution
in the US, accounting for roughly
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-04-29/bank-of-america-and-citigroup-biggest-lenders-to-coalhttp://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/apr/02/corporate-america-climate-change-position-epa
-
one-third of US domestic
greenhouse gas emissions. In
2007, the US Supreme Court ruled
that the EPA was required to
regulate greenhouse gases as
pollutants, and in 2013, Obama
announced the agency’s intention
to reduce power plant emissions.
Since then, the EPA has proposed
regulations for new and existing
plants, while delegating many of
the particulars to states to permit
flexible rule-making.
The Inner Revolution?What IS the Inner Revolution and are you a part of it?
Beth Green TV & Radio
For the most part, supporters and
opponents agree that the rules
would make it al l but impossible
to build new coal plants, requiring
some existing coal plants to shut
down and raising the cost of
electricity.
That’s where the agreement ends.
The EPA says the climate and
health benefits from its plan far
outweigh the estimated annual
costs, a position embraced by
green groups. Aside from EDF,
WWF and The Nature Conservancy,
activist groups l ike the Sierra Club
and Greenpeace also support the
plan. US climate action, they say,
is especially important as the
world moves closer to global
cl imate talks later this year in
Paris. “It is an enormously high
http://www2.epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards/fact-sheet-clean-power-plan-benefits
-
priority for The Nature
Conservancy,” says Mark Tercek,
the group’s president and CEO.
The EPA’s opponents, who have
organized as the Partnership for a
Better Energy Future, say that the
power plant rules wil l raise energy
costs to unacceptable levels, put
US manufacturing at risk, threaten
the reliabil ity of the electricity
grid and accomplish l ittle in the
way of greenhouse gas reductions.
The issue has become a partisan
battleground. This month, US
Senator Mitch McConnell, a
Kentucky Republican and the
Senate majority leader, urged
governors to refuse to enact the
power plant rules.
The partisan nature of the debate
is one reason why green groups
have proven unable to enlist the
support of their corporate all ies.
Businesses would rather not
alienate powerful Republicans l ike
McConnell.
As Glenn Prickett, chief external
affairs officer for the Nature
Conservancy, says: “Big
companies that might be wil l ing to
join a bipartisan legislative effort
are not going l ine up behind an
initiative of the Obama
administration strongly opposed
by Republicans.” The Nature
Conservancy and EDF are working
together on a longer-term plan to
build a bipartisan coalition for
climate action in Congress, which
is unlikely unti l after the 2016
presidential election.
The other reason why companies
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/20/us/politics/mitch-mcconnell-urges-states-to-help-thwart-obamas-war-on-coal.html?_r=0
-
have stayed out of the fight is that
they tend to save their lobbying
power for matters that directly
concern their interests. FedEx, for
example, as an operator of trucks,
supported the first-ever fuel
efficiency and greenhouse gas
standards for US commercial
vehicles, which were enacted in
2007. FedEx is also one of the 20
biggest commercial users of solar
energy, according to the Solar
Electric Industries Association.
But Mitch Jackson, who leads
FedEx’s sustainabil ity efforts,
explained by email that the
company isn’t taking a position on
the power plant rules because
they are “not directed at our
industry sector”.
Likewise, the head of government
relations for one of the world’s
biggest companies told the
Guardian: “There’s a reluctance if
a regulation doesn’t get into your
core competency to get into
somebody else’s backyard. It’s an
unspoken acknowledgment that
you stick to your knitting.”
Bank of America, Citi and
JPMorgan Chase all have high-
profi le sustainabil ity programs
and NGO partners, but they won’t
engage in the coal-plant fight.
“We have not taken a policy
position on climate, or any other
issue not directly related to
finance,” says Matthew Arnold,
head of environmental affairs at
JPMorgan Chase.
By contrast, Google, Mars and
Starbucks publicly support the EPA
http://www.seia.org/research-resources/solar-means-business-2014-top-us-commercial-solar-users
-
plan. In comments fi led with the
EPA, Google asked that the plan
be strengthened. “EPA’s
assessment of the potential for
cost-effective, renewable energy
opportunities is, i f anything,
conservative,” the company said.
Mars and Starbucks signed a letter
to Obama put together by Ceres’
Business for Innovative Climate
and Energy Policy project. Other
companies with $1bn or more in
revenues that signed the letter
include EMC Corp, IKEA, KB Home,
Kellogg, Levi Strauss, Nestle,
Novelis, SunPower, Symantec,
Unilever and VF Corp.
Some companies have staked out a
middle ground. Dow Chemical and
GE fi led comments on the EPA
rules recommending
improvements. Boeing and 3M
have joined companies in the
power sector in a small group
called the National Climate
Coalition, which support EPA’s
goal of significantly reducing
power-plant emissions, but are
trying to influence the rules to
insure that electricity remains
reliable and affordable, according
to Robert Wyman, an
environmental lawyer with Latham
& Watkins, who coordinates the
coalition.

“We’re here to get to yes,” he
says. “We’re not here to fight
about the science.”
The fact that so few companies are
wil l ing to push for coal-plant
regulation frustrates some
environmentalists. The
Environmental Defense Fund
organized a webinar to explain the
importance of the EPA plan to its
corporate partners, says Tom
Murray, who leads the nonprofit’s
corporate partnerships.
“The next step up the corporate
sustainabil ity leadership curve
needs to be aligning what you’re
doing on corporate sustainabil ity
and strategy with policy
advocacy,” he says.
