A Climate of Corporate Control: Company Profiles
The 2012 UCS report A Climate of Corporate Control offers an analysis of the ways in which many corporations sow confusion about climate science and obstruct or delay needed action on climate change while avoiding public accountability for these activities.
Below are links to individual profiles of the 28 companies whose actions formed the basis for the report. The profiles provide information on climate-science-related public statements, congressional testimony, EPA Endangerment Finding comments, SEC filings, trade organization, think tank and NGO affiliations, political contributions, lobbying expenditures, and other relevant details.
