The Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) reports directly to the CEO. The CSO meets regularly with the CEO, who is also a member of our Board, to discuss the key issues identified in the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, and holds responsibility for managing information on climate-related issues, developing strategy, and adapting decisions based on climate-related information as necessary. Climate issues such as the ability to provide GHG emissions-avoiding services, the physical risks of climate change on WM facilities and services, and meeting WM’s GHG reduction goals impact WM’s recycling, composting, renewable energy production, fleet composition, advisory services and landfill operations of our business. In addition, carbon reduction and response to climate change are central factors in our municipal and private sector customers’ decisions to employ our services.
