More and more companies are making noteworthy efforts to minimize damage to the environment from their activities, according to a report on business and biodiversity issued on Tuesday.
The report said that Wal-Mart, for example, had sought to eliminate "excess product packaging,” reducing its disposal expenses while increasing its customer numbers and business revenues. The mining company Rio Tinto has made progress by starting offset projects in Madagascar, Australia and North America, news-media materials accompanying the report said. The energy company BC Hydro was singled out for a policy of "no net incremental ecological impact,” and Coca-Cola aims to become "water neutral” by 2020, the materials said.
