Waste Management CEO Projects Fleet 75% Renewable CNG in 2021
Waste Management's 10th annual sustainability forum, hosted in conjunction with its sponsorship of the Phoenix Open golf tournament, was a continuation of the company's effort to be a "thought leader" in the industry around environmental and social topics. While the value of such a showcase may be rising amid investor interest in climate issues, it's often still hard to gauge exactly what this event means in terms of business strategy compared to other large competitors.
Fleet investment is one tangible metric showing how Waste Management plans to mark progress on its pledge to offset four times the amount of GHG it generates from operations. According to the company's latest sustainability update, 2018 fleet emissions were down by 30% against a 2010 baseline. Waste Management seeks to hit a 45% reduction by 2038.
