*Statement : Best Buy position on U.S. Chamber of Commerce climate-related activities*

***The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a membership organization with varied business stakeholders and interests. Those interests among industry don’t always align; on the issue of climate change legislation and regulatory actions, we have certainly seen this to be the case.

Best Buy has stated that we are supportive of comprehensive climate change legislation and working to move toward a low carbon economy. With regard to the Chamber’s climate initiatives, the Chamber has not spoken for Best Buy on these issues. We have shared our views with the Chamber and will continue to do so.

Best Buy’s commitment to sustainability aligns with global interests in addressing climate change. Best Buy is an innovator in offering our customers products and services that enable them to live more sustainably. At the same time, Best Buy is addressing our own carbon footprint resulting in a positive impact on the economic, environmental and societal well-being of the planet. Best Buy takes a leadership role through membership and partnership with the numerous organizations working to advance legislation that address climate change, promote sustainability, advance energy efficiency and promote economic opportunity and green jobs.

These include:

• Alliance to Save Energy • Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP)

• The Keystone Group • The Sustainability Consortium • EPEAT, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) For further information about our policy on addressing climate change and solutions for a low-carbon economy, click here.
