A new analysis out Friday makes clear the wide gap between corporations’ stated commitments to fighting the climate crisis and the lengths they are currently going to in order to stop the passage of the biggest climate action spending package in U.S. history.

Those stated commitments mean little, Accountable.US said, considering the companies’ close ties with lobbying firms that are actively working to kill the Build Back Better Act.
