Our environment is changing: the impacts of global warming on our natural environment, the changing cost and availability of energy and other resources, and the shifting regulatory environment all present new challenges and new opportunities.
GE believes in helping to build a better future for people all around the world. A strong global trade network serves to raise the standards of living for everyone involved.
