Aggressive recycling and composting, along with utilization of waste-to-energy, have driven our waste reduction/diversion success. Bloomberg currently diverts 75% of its total waste away from landfills and is targeting 90% diversion by 2020.

Bloomberg has always believed that bringing transparency to financial markets through access to information can increase capital flows, produce economic growth and create efficiencies for businesses. This idea revolutionized the bond markets in 1981, and, since then, we have expanded our efforts across asset classes to equities, derivatives, commodities and the broader financial markets.

In 2016, Bloomberg joined RE100, a global initiative by influential businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity.

To date, our completed solar projects have generated more than 15,000 megawatt hours and saved Bloomberg more than $1 million.
