Dutko Worldwide is the first public policy management firm in Washington, DC to establish a practice focused on sustainability--better known as “the triple bottom line” of financial, environmental and social performance. As the Nation’s growing economy places greater demands on our environment and natural resources, and public expectations of good corporate governance and transparency have increased, many of our Fortune 500 clients have recognized the positive impacts of implementing a corporate sustainability program. Dutko Worldwide assists our clients in capturing the full range of benefits associated with addressing these issues and improving environmental performance. We provide policy analysis and strategic counsel to business leaders across all sectors to seize opportunities and manage risks associated with environmental policies. Dutko Worldwide offers a unique approach to legislative and regulatory initiatives and assists our clients in creating public awareness of these efforts. We build public private alliances necessary to help our clients achieve their sustainability goals including the development of the largest private solar project in the State of California and assisting in the creation a voluntary CO2 emissions reduction registry program. Our ability to interact with key federal and state legislators, as well as decision-makers at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and Department of Housing and Urban Development, allows us to provide comprehensive services to our clients including seeking appropriations for demonstration of new approaches and technologies as well as technical assistance. We have also had the opportunity to represent a number of industry-wide coalitions including the CEO Coalition for the Advancement of Sustainable Technology, and the Clean Power Group.

		Sharp/FedEx		FedEx Corporation provides customers and businesses worldwide with a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services. With annual revenues of $27 billion, the company offers integrated business applications through operating companies competing collectively and managed collaboratively, under the respected FedEx brand. Consistently ranked among the world's most admired and trusted employers, FedEx inspires its more than 250,000 employees and contractors to remain "absolutely, positively" focused on safety, the highest ethical and professional standards and the needs of their customers and communities. FedEx Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize that effective environmental management is one of its most important corporate priorities. The company is committed to protecting and respecting the environment through outstanding environmental performance and efficiency in the conduct of its operations. As part of its ongoing efforts to attain this objective, FedEx Corporation has focused on several initiatives including using innovations and technologies to minimize atmospheric emissions (greenhouse gases) from its operations and products. FedEx Corporation has undertaken several initiatives: retirement of some of its older Boeing 727 aircraft, which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to fuel burn efficiencies in new aircraft; in 1999, the company switched from the FedEx Express Letter to its replacement, the FedEx Envelope, which has reduced net greenhouse gases from its production by 12 percent annually; and in 2000, FedEx Express and Environmental Defense began working together to create a delivery truck that is greater than 50 percent more fuel-efficient (yielding more than a 33-percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions) and produces up to 90 percent less air emissions of soot and smog.
