Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP)
Location: United States
Summary: When it comes to addressing climate change, policy matters. So does collaboration. In 2009, we joined BICEP, a coalition that focuses on passing meaningful legislation on energy and climate change.
We know that policy is a critical step in advancing the climate change agenda. We also know that we’ll make more progress in less time if we join forces with others to address climate change issues.
In 2009, we joined the Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP) coalition in partnership with brands such as Nike, Levi Strauss, Starbucks, Sun, and eBay, along with Ceres — a national network of investors, environmental organizations and other groups focused on sustainability.
BICEP members believe that climate change will affect all sectors of the economy, and that diverse business perspectives are vital to the full spectrum of viewpoints needed to solve America’s climate and energy challenges. The goal of the coalition is to work directly with key allies in the business community — and with members of Congress — to pass meaningful energy and climate change legislation that’s consistent with BICEP’s core principles.
