Most polluting enterprises are part of the energy sector and have done little to change their behaviors â€" CDP Global 500 Report Climate Change 2013 shows, in fact, that the 50 Giants have become even more polluters over the past four years.The report calculates and analyzes emissions from Global 500 largest companies. The results show that Wal-Mart, Bank of America, Bayer, Samsung and Verizon are among the biggest offenders.The 50 largest companies managed to increase their emissions in 1.65% since 2009.
