Unum, Mohawk listed among America’s Climate Leaders
Unum Group and Mohawk Industries are among the top U.S. companies that earned a place among America’s Climate Leaders presented by USA Today.
Chattanooga-based Unum, the world’s biggest disability insurer, and Calhoun, Georgia-based Mohawk, the world’s largest flooring manufacturer, were among 400 companies selected from among more than 2,000 of the largest companies in the country for the amount of carbon and other pollution reduction made by the companies.
Industry produces 23% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to USA Today.
“The business sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. That makes them a main point of potential improvement,” said Magali Delmas, a professor of management and faculty director of the Center for Impact at the University of California, Los Angeles.
