Meet four businesses committed to a low-carbon world
 
Our new study presents powerful stories of businesses that have committed and contributed to the transition to a low-carbon world. We uncovered examples of companies that have navigated through challenges to drive innovation, improve competitiveness, manage risk and deliver business growth using strategies rooted in environmental sustainability.

This includes Tetra Pak, a food processing and packaging company, which developed a new low-carbon packaging with a carbon footprint lower than the standard packaging. The new low-carbon packaging is making an important contribution to the company’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain. This move has grown their business by 16% and reduced emissions by about 14%.

Kellogg's, General Electric and Novozymes are some of the other companies who are driving their revenue through sustainable products and strategies. How are these companies doing it? Click below to read the full story.
