2011 Corporate Responsibility Report - JPMorgan Chase

PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
“We are working hard to address environmental challenges by finding financing solutions for
renewable energy and energy efficiency companies, and reducing the environmental impact of
energy and infrastructure development. To make sure we keep the bar high, we are in regular
discussion with our employees, clients and environmental stakeholders.”
The accelerating quest for energy poses
major challenges for environmental
sustainability and economic development.
Companies are developing advanced
technologies that make it possible to
recover vastly greater fossil fuel resources
than ever before. At the same time,
rapidly developing clean technology is
increasing renewable energy production,
and allowing much greater efficiency
in the distribution, consumption and
storage of energy. Amid all this change,
We’re doing our part
to be environmentally
responsible in our own
operations, starting at
our global headquarters
and extending to
everywhere we do
business
