PHOENIX, March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Republic
Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) today released the Company's inaugural
climate disclosure report aligned with recommendations of the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The report,
which identifies the Company's climate-related risks and
opportunities, is the industry's first comprehensive TCFD reporting
and represents Republic's commitment to environmental leadership
and sustainability.
"As a leader in the environmental services industry, Republic
Services recognizes the importance of identifying and managing
risks related to climate change and developing low-carbon solutions
for our customers," said Donald W.
Slager, chief executive officer. "We are proud to be the
first in the industry to disclose our climate-related risks and

TCFD developed a set of guidelines to help companies inform
investors and other members of the public about climate-related
risks. In a TCFD report, companies respond to four aspects of their
business related to climate: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management,
and Metrics and Targets. TCFD reporting is an ongoing process, and
