Interview: Lee Broughton, Enterprise Holdings

By Nick Aster

At this week's Fortune Brainstorm Green conference, I also had a few minutes to talk with Enterprise Holdings' Head of Sustainability, Lee Broughton.

Lee and I talked specifically about the Electrification Coalition, a membership organization whose goal is promoting policies and actions that facilitate the deployment of electric vehicles on a mass scale. Given that Enterprise is possibly the world's largest single owner of cars (over one million!) they've got tremendous leverage to influence automakers and bring scale to the transition away from traditional gasoline vehicles.
