ACTIONS: Workplace political action and policy

Businesses have political clout!

  • Lobby for climate-friendly policies and regulations at the city, county, regional, state, and federal levels.
  • Develop a climate action plan for your organization or company. Inform that plan with a climate audit.
  • Urge your company to donate only to politicians and political groups that are actively working to curb climate change.
  • Work with industry groups to improve industry-wide practices, policies, standards, and sourcing options.
  • Encourage employees to take action at home and in their communities. Support employee groups committed to climate action.
  • Share strategies, successes, and lessons learned with other companies and organizations.
  • Publicize your efforts and their effect to help others see what’s possible and help change norms. True climate action is good press!
