Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase are among 10 companies that have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their offices by 40 percent over the next 10 years.
All 10 companies have signed up to expand New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Carbon Challenge, which is being launched as part of the city's PlaNYC sustainability program. The other seven companies that signed the agreement are American International Group, BlackRock, Bloomberg LP, Credit Suisse, Google, JetBlue Airways and PVH. The companies join 17 universities with more than 35 campuses that have adopted the Carbon Challenge since it began in 2007, as well as 11 major hospital organizations that joined in 2009.
Bloomberg LP, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Saudi Arabia Mobile Number List and JPMorgan Chase - the largest member in the New York area - have committed to reducing emissions by up to 40 percent at their New York offices over 10 years.
Deutsche Bank says it has completed about 80 different projects in New York over the past few years that have reduced electricity consumption by 18.3 million kWh per year, or about a quarter. The company recently installed 682 solar panels on the roof of its New York office, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 100 metric tons per year, the bank says. In 2009, the company placed a 250 kWh solar array on the roof of its Piscataway, New Jersey office.
Five other companies have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions at their New York City offices by 30 percent.
Of the universities participating in the Carbon Challenge, four have already achieved their goals, as well as one hospital. Barnard College, the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York University, The Rockefeller University and New York Queens Hospital reduced emissions by an average of 33.3 percent and reduced energy use by 22 percent. In the past year alone, these institutions have reduced emissions by 86,000 tons of carbon dioxide and saved $19 million through lower energy costs, the mayor's office says.
The Fashion Institute of Technology became the first university to achieve the Carbon Challenge goal and continues to build on this initiative by installing its second green roof. NYU met its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent in 2011—six years ahead of its 2017 commitment date—through its combined heat and power plant, energy efficiency projects and campus-wide engagement campaigns. The country currently aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2016.
