Bank of America Recognized for Climate Change Leadership

Bank of America was recognized recently in four prominent sustainability rankings and awards that measure, rank and report on the performance of companies that are considered sustainability leaders:

“We’re engaging every part of our company to help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy – our business, our people, our operations and our partners,” said Andrew Plepler, Bank of America Global Corporate Social Responsibility and Consumer Policy executive. “This commitment is evident in our company’s $70 billion environmental business goal and our new $10 billion Catalytic Finance Initiative – each of which strives to combine innovation and expertise to drive meaningful impact in addressing the critical issue of climate change.”

Bank of America’s $70 billion multi-year environmental business commitment
Since 2007, Bank of America has dedicated $31.7 billion to low-carbon and other environmental business activities. In June 2012, Bank of America announced a 10-year, $50 billion environmental business goal to advance lower-carbon economic solutions through lending, equipment finance, capital markets and advisory activities, carbon finance and investment advice and solutions for clients around the world. The $50 billion commitment followed an initial $20 billion multi-year environmental business commitment announced in 2007 that was achieved four years ahead of schedule.
