JPMorgan Chase and the Environment

April 2008 – JPMorgan Chase announced additional strategies to reduce its global carbon footprint. By increasing energy efficiencies in its facilities worldwide, purchasing energy from renewable sources, and educating employees on energy conservation, the firm aims to cut its global emissions 20% by 2012 using 2005 baseline. In addition, the firm announced it will offset 100% of all employee air travel.

April 2008 – JPMorgan acquired ClimateCare as part of its Environmental Markets team in the Investment Bank.

Many of the projects bring significant benefits to people’s health and welfare as well as helping to protect the climate.
