This next step will require a willingness to align corporate sustainability operations, strategy AND policy.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Voluntary corporate efforts have made a difference and will continue to be a critical pathway for innovation. But this is not sufficient to meet the size and scale of the challenges we face.\u00a0 Businesses must take the next leadership step \u2013 helping to shape and support the smart regulatory and policy changes required to preserve the natural systems that people, communities and companies need to thrive.<\/p>\n<p><b>Simply put, the bar is now higher for companies that want to lead on sustainability.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The greatest need for this kind of leadership is on climate and clean energy, where a price on carbon and effective policy are needed to protect public health, the environment and the economy from the worst impacts of climate change. In the days and months ahead, there will be several opportunities for companies to put this type of leadership to the test in support of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/a-new-federal-clean-power-plan\">Clean Power Plan<\/a>\u00a0and Phase two of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/transportation\/policy\/medium-heavy-duty-fuel-standards\">fuel-efficiency and GHG standards for trucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Power plants are the largest single source of carbon emissions in the U.S. The Clean Power Plan requires that we cut pollution by 30 percent. These new carbon pollution standards are rolling out on a state-by-state basis, giving room for custom implementations that fit the needs of the state\u2019s specific economic, corporate and energy sectors. The private sector needs to step up and weigh in now on how carbon reduction goals are met in their states.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.epa.gov\/sites\/production\/files\/2014-05\/documents\/20140602fs-setting-goals.pdf\">state by state approach<\/a>\u00a0is laid out under\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/section-111-d-of-the-clean-air-act_the-legal-foundation-for-strong-flexible-cost-effective-carbon-pollution-standards-for-existing-power-plants.pdf\">Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act<\/a>. In the coming weeks, we\u2019ll be looking at ways for business to specifically engage on this policy in key states.<\/p>\n<p>Also, just over the horizon in early 2015, The EPA and NHTSA will announce new fuel efficiency and GHG emissions standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Business needs to step up and support stringent new standards, not only for the potential 40% reduction in fuel consumption and reduction in emissions, but also\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/business.edf.org\/files\/2014\/06\/EDF-Ceres-Report-Truck-Rule-Phase-2-Effect-on-Freight-Rates.pdf\">to drive a lower per-mile cost of heavy truck operations<\/a>. We will continue to explore and educate how these standards can benefit and be influenced by business.<\/p>\n<p>By engaging in a meaningful way, companies can help shape these policy decisions and others to benefit the economy and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, EDF is not alone in this work. Nor are we alone in coming to the conclusion that the next wave of business leadership must include leadership in the policy arena. The important connections between business and policy made by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ceres.org\/bicep\">BICEP<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/business.edf.org\/www.wemeanbusinesscoalition.org\/\">We Mean Business<\/a>\u00a0have highlighted this very issue.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week, there are great examples of businesses stepping up and taking a stance. Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/nation\/politics\/politicsnow\/la-pn-google-conservative-20140922-story.html\">publicly severed ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)<\/a>\u00a0for its opposition to U.S. action on climate change.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2014-08-21\/microsoft-leaves-lobbying-group-alec-amid-split-over-renewables.html\">Microsoft also recently ended ties with ALEC<\/a>\u00a0due to its opposition to renewable energy, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/news\/article\/Facebook-to-cut-ties-with-conservative-policy-5776055.php\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0looks to be following suit.<\/p>\n<p>So how can EDF help? We bring to the table not only 25 years of corporate partnership experience but 45 years of history and expertise on the policy side. We\u2019re well-positioned to play the role of collaborating with the industry leaders to understand what policy means to them and make the environmental and business case for engaging.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve challenged companies to set and track aggressive sustainability goals for their operations and supply chains. We will continue to do that. But expectations have grown alongside the urgency of the environmental challenges facing us.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming months, we\u2019ll be exploring this next frontier of corporate leadership and what it means for companies that want to lead the way.<\/p>\n<p><em>This post originally appeared on our <a href=\"http:\/\/business.edf.org\/blog\/2014\/09\/24\/the-business-policy-nexus-the-next-frontier-for-corporate-sustainability-leadership\/\">EDF Biz blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Tom Murray, Vice President, Corporate Partnerships Program As we approach the 25-year anniversary of EDF\u2019s work with the corporate sector, it\u2019s an opportune time to reflect on our successes and plan for the work ahead. &nbsp; Over the years we have worked with McDonalds, Walmart, FedEx, KKR and many others to integrate sustainability into &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42996,177],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-8230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-smart-power","category-renewable-energy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
