12 Aug 13. Northrop Grumman Corporation has achieved its inaugural greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal of 25 percent in three years, two years ahead of plan. In 2012, the company realized a 25.3 percent GHG intensity reduction from its 2008 baseline, resulting in a 26.9 percent absolute emissions reduction.

The primary drivers include facilities, engineering and manufacturing efficiency projects, a comprehensive green information technology strategy and real estate portfolio optimization, with additional benefits realized through renewable energy and ecosystem conservation. In addition to GHG, the company also tracks solid waste generation and water use, and is on track to achieve its best management practice objectives in this area.
