Answer 1

The two environmental policy statement for large organizations that I have selected are from FedEx and Nokia. They are quite contrasting in nature and while FedEx is quite detailed in terms of policy and statement online, Nokia is comparatively specific and short. Their statements can be found online but here are the excerpts from their statement

FedEx

“FedEx recognizes that the long-term health of our business is directly connected to the health of the planet and local communities. We remain focused on sourcing environmental solutions that will lessen our footprint, while serving as an example to our peers….”

Nokia

“We believe the potential benefits of technology far outweigh the potential negative impacts. Technology will play an increasing role in nurturing and protecting the environment and in helping to achieve the global climate goals.”
