2021 Climate Leadership Award
The Climate Leadership Awards take place during the Climate
Leadership Conference, which brings together forward-thinking
leaders from business, government, academia, and the non-profit
community to address climate change through policy, innovation, and
business solutions. Awardees are honored for exemplary corporate,
organizational, and individual leadership in reducing carbon
pollution and addressing climate change in their operations and
strategies.
“Taking action on climate change is more important than it’s
ever been. We are inspired and honored to be in the company of so
many outstanding U.S. organizations being recognized by The Center
for Climate Solutions and The Climate Registry,” said Daniel
Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and
Corporate Secretary at Pitney Bowes. “As we transform our business
model and objectives, we do so along with a long-term vision of
achieving carbon neutrality. To meet our objectives of both growth
and environmental sustainability, we have a consistent focus on
making our operations more efficient and using green
technologies.”
Pitney Bowes is being recognized for Excellence in Greenhouse
Gas Management (Goal Achievement Award) for the following:
- Reducing global emissions nearly 13% from 2015 to 2020,
exceeding goal of 8%.
- Developing and implementing sustainability initiatives in
transportation and logistics, including by phasing in
fuel-efficient vehicles for the North America Service Fleet,
installing EV charging stations at Pitney Bowes’s largest office
building, and making hardware and software improvements for
commercial vehicles to reduce emissions.
- Reducing electricity consumption through site
consolidations, efficiency upgrades, energy audits, and employee
trainings. Since 2007, electricity consumption has decreased by
approximately 35 million kilowatt hours, saving $5.03 million and
reducing 16,810 metric tons of carbon dioxide.
- Implementing "Green Energy” in place of fossil fuel-based
energy at operating facilities when possible. Since 2009,
Pitney Bowes has also purchased renewable energy credits to support
193,754,000 kWh of green power projects.
- Implementing programs to reduce waste and promote
remanufacturing and recycling. The company avoided 3,636 metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalent through their waste reduction
campaign in 2019 alone, and in the past 8 years has kept 3.6
million pounds of products out of the waste stream through
remanufacturing.
“Congratulations to the 2021 Climate Leadership Award winner
Pitney Bowes for their stand-out achievements,” said Amy Holm,
Executive Director of The Climate Registry. “At a time when the
world urgently needs more climate action and ambition, these
organizations and individuals demonstrate what is possible.”
“Being a climate leader and advocate for ambitious action means
taking the steps today that set up opportunity for the future,”
said Nathaniel Keohane, President of the Center for Climate and
Energy Solutions (C2ES). “The Climate Leadership Awards recognizes
only those that aim high and have plans in place to achieve their
goals. Pitney Bowes has shown exactly that kind of foresight and
set an example among its peers.”
