Former businessman and new president Donald Trump may be an ardent skeptic of climate change, but that’s not stopping U.S. companies from maintaining their commitment to sustainability. In a new survey consisting of 400 large companies from a cross-section of industries, 60 percent of companies with revenues greater than $1 billion said the current administration will have “no impact” on their sustainability strategy. Another 34 percent said although it will hinder their progress, it will not stop them from pursuing their sustainability goals. The survey also found that larger companies were more likely to project no impact from the policies of the new administration.
