Many large global companies have now set a target for getting to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. But with most of those deadlines decades away, it can be difficult to tell if they\u2019re on track now. <\/p>\n

Companies have varying standards of setting short-term climate goals and differing ways of assessing whether they\u2019ve achieved them. In a recent analysis, Bloomberg Green <\/em>took stock of the five-year sustainability goals some of the biggest U.S. companies had set in 2015. The results showed that 138 out of 187 pledges had been met, partly because they were modest to start with.<\/p>\n
