Invitation to Canadian Companies to Sign Copenhagen Communiqué

A Global Business Campaign on Climate Change

Canadian companies are invited to join a coordinated global campaign by prominent corporate leaders on the critical topic of climate change - the campaign is called The Copenhagen Communiqué.

On the 22nd of September the Secretary-General of the United Nations will be gathering more than 100 world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York City for a negotiation session, which will serve as the lead-up to the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. The Copenhagen Communiqué will be presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during a global media event at the UN General Assembly.

The Communiqué has achieved international credibility and is gaining momentum toward its objective of securing 500 high profile corporate signatories across the G20. Organizations that sign before September 3, 2009 will have their logo included in global media releases.

Canadian Business for Social Responsibility, World Wildlife Fund Canada, LoyaltyOne/AIR MILES and Mountain Equipment Co-op have joined forces in inviting prominent Canadian corporate leaders to sign the Communiqué.

About the Communiqué

The Copenhagen Communiqué is sponsored by The Prince of Wales’ Corporate Leaders Group on Climate Change and the University of Cambridge. It calls for organizations to declare their commitment to reducing climate change impact by asking for an ambitious, robust and equitable global deal on climate change that responds credibly to the scale and urgency of the crises facing the world today.
