About Bloomberg LP
Bloomberg LP exemplifies many of the characteristics of a truly climate conscious company by addressing the issue directly in its own operations but also indirectly through its business activities.
As part of its commitment to addressing the climate impacts of its direct operations, the company set an aggressive goal to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% below 2007 levels by 2013 through increased energy efficiency, renewable resource use, and waste reduction strategies.
Additionally, Bloomberg is tapping into its core business (news, data and analytics) to accelerate a broader transition to a low carbon economy. In September of 2008, Bloomberg announced a partnership with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to integrate information from CDP reports into Bloomberg's data, news, and analytic tools.
As a member of The Climate Group, Bloomberg provides a key example of the role media companies can play in moving towards a low carbon economy.
