In 2004, JPMorgan Chase established the Office of Environmental Affairs to increase the company's focus on the environment and to allocate dedicated resources to examining environmental issues as they relate to the company. The office guides the firm's use of resources and the management of environmental issues related to our global business activities. The office also engages with various stakeholders, including peers, shareholder groups, experts in nonprofits and academia to help JPMorgan Chase meet its responsibilities as an environmentally-sensitive corporate citizen.

The Office of Environmental Affairs reports to Rick Lazio, a member of the Executive Committee and is overseen by the Public Responsibility Committee of the Board. In addition, a firm-wide Environmental Oversight Committee made up of key business leaders is responsible for guiding the Office's initiatives.
