Eighty-one major corporations with operations in the U.S.--including Google, Facebook, Apple, Coca Cola and General Motors--have taken a White House pledge “to demonstrate their support for action on climate change and the conclusion of a climate change agreement in Paris that takes a strong step forward toward a low-carbon, sustainable future.”
Signing the White House’s American Business Act on Climate Change Pledge shows a continuing commitment to action preventing global warming and is intended to set an example for other companies to pursue similar policies, according to a statement released by the White House.
It also shows the signatories’ support for the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, which will be held this November in Paris. “The Pledge...voices support for a strong outcome in the Paris climate negotiations.”
Obama previously met with 13 major companies on July 27 to launch the American Business Act on Climate Pledge, according to a White House statement.
Three of them--Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and General Motors--received billions of taxpayer dollars in government bailouts under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
The companies that have signed the pledge are:

Most companies that support climate change policy are polluters because these policies allow them to buy credits so they can continue polluting. All the while, global warming is a hoax. These expensive green policies pollute and destroy the local environment despite their claims of being "clean".
greedy capitalists - don't they know Bill Gates says it's all their fault?
Of course they signed the pledge. They just pass the cost on to their customers knowing it hurts small businesses not them.
Working citizens bend over for a good reaming.
follow the money. period.
