The U.S. needs more renewable energy, a problem felt on Block Island, RI, where residents paid some of the highest electricity prices in the country while burning a million gallons of harmful diesel fuel each year. Citi provided long-term financing to help Deepwater Wind build the first offshore wind farm in the U.S. — part of Citi’s $100 billion commitment to finance sustainable energy projects. The Block Island Wind Farm could help lower electric bills by up to 40 percent and reduce carbon emissions by 40,000 tons a year, ushering in a new era of American renewables. For over 200 years, Citi’s job has been to believe in people and help make their ideas a reality. citi.com/progressmakers © 2017 Citigroup Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Interview with David Richardson on Matters Relating to ACSU – 20 May 2014
    Interview with David Richardson on matters relating to ACSU – 20 May 2014 Question 1 – What is the ICC’s reaction to the recent leaks of confidential information in respect of investigations into corrupt activity? Obviously the ICC considers any leak of any kind of information to be an extremely serious matter, particularly, as in this instance, when the nature of the information that has found its way to the media is highly confidential and has been provided in tightly controlled circumstances by individuals to the ACSU as part of ongoing investigations. We are taking all steps available to us to urgently investigate how certain information in the form of statements has come to find its way into the media, so that we can provide reassurances to the stakeholders within the sport so that they can continue to place their trust in the hands of the ACSU and the anti-corruption units of the respective Member Boards in protecting the integrity of the sport. However, given the nature and scope of the initial ACSU investigation to which this information relates, it was obviously necessary for certain parts of it to be provided to individuals outside of the ACSU, so that lines of inquiry could properly be completed. Naturally, nobody that did not ‘need to know’ that information was provided with any of it, so it is with grave disappointment that we find ourselves in this situation today. We do believe that the internal protection mechanisms in place were complied with in this case, and an investigation is underway that we hope will provide an explanation for how certain confidential information has arrived in the hands of the journalists.
