Of the 38 firms Programs Have Set participating in Climate Leaders that had established emission reduction Quantitative Emissions-goals as of November 2005, 19 had committed to reduce their total Related Goals greenhouse gas emissions, 18 had committed to reduce their emissions intensity ( emissions per unit of output ), and 1 firm had committed to reduce both its total emissions and its emissions intensity. Furthermore, firms ' goals differed in their geographic scope and the time period they covered. For example, Cinergy Corporation pledged to reduce its total U.S. domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 5 percent from 2000 to 2010, while Pfizer, Inc., pledged to reduce its worldwide emissions by 35 percent per dollar of revenue from 2000 to 2007.
