- Sprint Nextel calls on suppliers to reduce emissions

As a result, according to Reuters, Sprint Nextel will begin a conversation with its manufacturing suppliers and ask that they do three things: track and publicly report their emissions if they haven't already done so; set a public emissions reduction goal; turn to their own suppliers and begin the same kind of dialogue.

Sprint Nextel has committed to reducing its own absolute emissions by 15% by 2017. The company also wants 90% of its suppliers to meet its social and environmental criteria by the same year.
