How to Keep Companies Honest About Fighting Climate Change

Going green is the latest corporate trend—but it can be tough to separate the companies that are actually making major environmental commitments from those that are just giving lip service to the cause.

She hopes to build a system that measures corporate efforts to address climate change, with non-governmental organizations playing a role as fact checkers.
