Sustainability at EDF
Sustainability at EDF
We advocate strong environmental values — and we live them. We are the change we want to see.
Our mission extends into our workplace, where sustainable practices are a key part of our day-to-day work, including how we run our offices around the world. Becoming more sustainable helps us save money, become more resilient and minimize our environmental impact.
Our approach
We recognize that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. In this journey, we reduce, measure and mitigate:
Reduce — We are empowered by our organizational values to embrace ambitious goals to reduce our impact on the planet. We seek deep reductions in our greenhouse gas emissions and more energy efficiency in our offices.
Measure — We have measured our environmental footprint since 2007. As EDF has grown, so have our impacts on the environment. So we strive to be transparent with our data: We track our greenhouse gas emissions and plan to add recycling and other kinds of data to our inventory.
Mitigate — We create solutions to mitigate, or lessen, our impact on the planet. We are committed to using natural resources as efficiently as possible — reducing the cost of doing business in the process.
Our Sustainability Council
The Sustainability Council's mission is to make EDF sustainable, inside and out. The council is a group of more than 50 dedicated EDF staff volunteers from different programs, departments and levels of the organization.
The council champions various sustainability initiatives to reduce EDF’s environmental impacts. Ultimately, the council aspires to make recommendations and set an example other organizations can follow.
