Corporate Transportation Decarbonization Initiatives
The transportation sector is ripe for corporate climate-related action. David Gardiner and Associates (DGA) has developed a Corporate Transportation Decarbonization Tracker to help policymakers, manufacturers, transportation and fuel providers, and others better understand corporate initiatives related to transportation emissions and electric vehicle (EV) expansion. In 2022, DGA also produced a report on retailer commitments and opportunities for further progress. We continue to update the Tracker annually.
