net-zero carbon footprint.

EDF advocates for action on climate emergency by encouraging companies to make changes to
how they do business on a global scale. EDF is asking business leaders to use their influence to
push their members of Congress to action on saving the planet. Company executives also are
being asked to sign on to EDF’s position statement, which includes advocating for policies that will
result in net-zero emissions by 2050, encouraging trade associations to adapt their climate policy
advocacy to meet the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, and increasing spending on climate
advocacy, rather than seeking to use lobbying dollars to obstruct progress.
