ClimateVoice was featured in a recent Washington Post article by David DiMolfetta. He asked several pro-climate companies why they are still members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Kate Frischmann from Microsoft responded, “There is no ambiguity or doubt about Microsoft’s commitment to the aggressive steps needed to address climate change. While we may not agree with every trade association on every policy issue, we regularly assess alignment on climate policy, engage directly to share our point of view, and communicate Microsoft’s position publicly.”
Similarly, Melanie Nakagawa was asked this question as part of a recent Fortune “Sustainability 101” session. She responded, “We are constantly having conversations internally and weighing our memberships in specific organizations. It’s bigger than one issue, but we want to make sure we are representing our values and policy advocacy in the right way.”
