Corporate Environmental Sustainability: The Context
A recent study by McKinsey & Company, supported by leading scientists and corporations, says it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions enough to contain global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, but only if all major sectors and regions take ambitious action within the
next few years.
Flyte Tyme Worldwide’s Environmental Commitment
Flyte Tyme Worldwide is an environmental leader in the chauffeured ground transportation industry. As a member of Green Ride Global™
(GRG), Flyte Tyme Worldwide has committed to GHG emissions reductions from all areas of the company’s business operations. If every North
American chauffeured ground transportation company committed to producing results similar to Flyte Tyme Worldwide’s, collectively the
industry would be making a significant contribution towards the reduction of GHG emissions by annually saving of over 490,000 metric tons
of greenhouse gases -- the equivalent of removing 100,000 vehicles from the road, avoiding 1 million barrels of crude oil, and growing and
protecting over 400,000 acres of carbon-absorbing forest.
