In June the US bank announced a 10-year programme for addressing climate change. Its headline figure of $50bn will consist primarily of carbon finance, activity in the capital markets, helping companies buy equipment and advisory work. The bank also announced a goal to provide $100m in grants and programme-related investments to organisations promoting low-carbon and resource conservation solutions. Internally, it has committed to a set of goals to be achieved by 2015, including a 25% reduction in energy consumption from 2004 levels, a 20% reduction in paper and water consumption from 2010 levels, and a 70% diversion of waste away from landfill.
