This report shares 2015-16 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for WRI’s operations, compares the data to WRI’s historic results (link to historical reports), and specific cases, called stories, from the Sustainability Initiative’s efforts to reduce these emissions. Additional analysis and data of these individual stories is shared within each story, including WRI’s vegetarian food policy, carbon price on business travel, recycling program, and the work of the Sustainability Champions in WRI’s U.S. and Brazil offices.

This report features the results of WRI’s 2015–2016 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory.

However, this publication diverges from past reports in that it also shares stories that go in-depth on

sustainability projects that were active during the reporting period. Together, the quantitative GHG emissions data and the sustainability stories highlight WRI’s experiences in meeting the competing demands of organizational growth and our efforts to reduce absolute environmental impacts. This report aims to shed light on the challenge by sharing our current approach; as such, it should not be viewed as a recommendation of best or only practice. The intention of this report is to generate new discussions and ideas within WRI and other corporate sustainability programs.
