September 2014 was a good month for the Business for Innovative Climate & Energy Policy ("BICEP"). On September 19, 2014, BICEP announced that Kellogg Company had joined BICEP. BICEP, a project of Ceres, was launched in 2008 as an "advocacy coalition of businesses committed to working with policy makers to pass meaningful energy and climate legislation."
According to the Ceres website, "BICEP's members are primarily consumer companies that are not major greenhouse gas emitters, but will nevertheless be impacted by climate regulations and other climate-related impacts. BICEP members believe that climate
change will impact all sectors of the economy and that various business perspectives are needed to provide a full spectrum of viewpoints for solving the climate and energy challenges facing America."
Diane Holdorf, Chief Sustainability Officer, Kellogg Company, stated: "As a global food company, Kellogg understands the issues of climate change and food security, making us mindful of the risks and opportunities our growers, their communities and our business face as a result.... Solutions to complex challenges, like climate change, require multi-stakeholder collaboration, and we value continued engagement with stakeholders such as BICEP on this important issue."
