  • GM Environmental Progress
    Leadership We committed to generate or source all electrical power for 350 operations in 59 countries with 100% renewable energy by 2050. We remain the only automaker to sign the Ceres Business for Innovative Climate & Energy Policy Climate Declaration stating that tackling climate change is an economic opportunity. GM is recognized as a world leader for climate change action by CDP, ranking on the Climate A List in 2016. GM has achieved perfect climate disclosure scores in the U.S. for the last three years from CDP, and earned a perfect score on climate change performance in 2014. We received a 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 EPA ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence award, the organization’s highest level of recognition for corporate energy management. EPA recognized us for raising climate change awareness. We were one of the first 13 companies to sign the White House American Business Act on Climate Pledge demonstrating ongoing commitment to climate action. The Solar Energy Industries Association named us a “Solar Champion” for significant impact on establishing a strong U.S. solar industry. Reducing Energy Use We reduced energy use at our global facilities by 28% on a per-vehicle-produced basis between 2005 and 2010. These savings reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 3.34M metric tons during that timeframe. We committed to reduce energy intensity from facilities by 20% by 2020 over a 2010 baseline. From 2010 to 2016, we reduced it 15%, despite severe winter climates. GM avoided $89M in energy costs through these conservation initiatives. We have 75 facilities meeting a voluntary energy-reduction challenge set by the U.S.

  • UAW Trustees' Semi-Annual Audit Report
    UNION PROGRESS Offcial Publication, Local 14, UAW MARCH 30, 2019 Due to the passing of Tom Whalen our former editor, this is a new Union Progress Paper. We are currently using Greenwood Printing, a local union printer, to put the paper together. The Union Progress will be published on a quarterly basis. From The President’s Desk UAW Trustees’ By: Dennis Earl I want to thank the Local and the Unit Civil and Semi-Annual Audit Report Human Rights Committees for their wonderful job on the MLK celebration. If you have never attended this event, I encourage you to make plans for next year. It is a great message of unity and of power, but that only happens if we are one. Please remember we are the Union and our strength depends upon our unity. The members of Local 14 are blessed with a wonderful facility and recently we were able to share our home with the community. In the recent ice storm, many Lucas county residents lost power. With the expected outage to be 3 days, coupled with extremely cold weather, there was potential for a dangerous situation to those effected. We partnered with the Red Cross and opened the hall for shelter for anybody that Dennis Earl needed a place to go. It was a great opportunity for this Local to be a positive infuence in the community and we will always look for ways to bring positive attention to our Union. Toledo Transmission Operations has been in the process of launching two new products. We are building a new 9 speed front wheel drive transmission and a new 10 speed heavy duty rear wheel drive transmission.

    AP PHOTO/AL BEHRMAN PHOTO/AL AP Resilient Midwestern Cities Improving Equity in a Changing Climate By Cathleen Kelly, Miranda Peterson, Erin Auel, Gwynne Taraska, and Philine Qian April 2016 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Resilient Midwestern Cities Improving Equity in a Changing Climate By Cathleen Kelly, Miranda Peterson, Erin Auel, Gwynne Taraska, and Philine Qian April 2016 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 3 The Midwestern reality: Resilient and equitable communities are key for cities to thrive in a changing climate 6 City case studies 18 Recommendations 23 Conclusion 24 About the authors 27 Endnotes Introduction and summary The Midwest is known as America’s heartland and breadbasket, home to the Great Lakes. Despite the constancy of these iconic images, however, cities across the nation’s central region are adjusting to a new normal: more frequent and intense storms; heavy downpours; heat waves; and cold snaps. These dangerous effects of climate change hit hardest in low-income communities and communities of color, where residents confront daily the symptoms of historic inequities. These symptoms include economic instability as well as poor-quality housing, which is ill-equipped to weather safely severe storms, extended periods of stifling heat, and freezing temperatures. Faced with growing risks of flooding, heat-related deaths, and poor air and water quality; skyrocketing energy bills; and costly damage to homes and infrastruc- ture, some Midwestern city officials and community advocates are taking steps to improve their cities’ resilience to the effects of climate change. For example, cities such as Ann Arbor, Michigan; Chicago; Cleveland; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Toledo, Ohio, are implementing strategies such as installing green infrastructure; upgrading aging water, electric grid, and public transportation infrastructure; supporting home energy efficiency and weatherization; and strengthening com- munity engagement and social cohesion.
