Here is a list of companies with a direct link of their website about more information about help reducing their emmissions. I don't believe gas or oil are helping that much because they are spending more money but then we burn it which goes back into the air.
Wholefoods
Dell Earth
Green Marriott
and more countless other companies are listed on EPA
The other three companies I know for sure because I have actually done studies on them personally through University and studies for personal research.

Wal-Mart is taking strides in being green. They recycle everything they can, in new stores they have sky lights to use as much natural light as possible. They really encourage there in employees to be green and give them all kinds of tips on personal sustainability. They encourage the community to recycle ( at least at my hometown Wal-Marts) by making recycling bins readily accessible. They have a growing inventory of organic products, just look for the light green flags in grocery. A lot of Wal-marts get involved with the community by actually having it's employees volunteer to help clean city streets, and by donating money to local environmental organizations. Also for every acre developed Wal-Mart buys another acre for wildlife habitats. Look at all the innovations for "green" stores on the link provided.

The best one I know.
Subaru not only has "the first auto assembly plant to achieve zero landfill status - nothing from its manufacturing efforts goes into a landfill. It's all reused and recycled," but also "became the first U.S. automotive assembly plant to be designated a wildlife habitat. Deer, coyotes, beavers, blue herons, geese, and other animals live there in peaceful coexistence with the Subaru plant."

Pretty much all of them I would have thought. Not so long back the CEO's of the worlds leading 1000 organisations unanimously agreed that climate change was the biggest threat facing humanity.
If they're not going to be too-faced about it then they should be taking positive steps to reduce CO2 emissions.
As it's the oil industry that often bears the brunt of environmental criticism I'll concentrate on that. Here's the position of some of the world largest oil companies.
< SHELL, ROYAL DUTCH>
"The Shell Group shares the widespread concern that the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) from human activities is leading to changes in the global climate. We believe action is required now to lay the foundation for eventually stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere in an equitable and an economically responsible way. It is time to pursue stable, market-based policies that help energy users and suppliers pursue innovative energy solutions." http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?siteId=envandsoc-en&FC2=/envandsoc-en/html/iwgen/key_issues_and_topics/global_environmental_issues/climate_change/zzz_lhn.html&FC3=/envandsoc-en/html/iwgen/key_issues_and_topics/global_environmental_issues/climate_change/our_approach_to_climate_change_12042006.html
< TOTAL >
"Combating climate change is one of the most compelling challenges faced by modern society. Total fully assumes its environmental responsibilities through measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop innovative technological solutions." http://www.total.com/en/corporate-social-responsibility/Challenges_actions/Environment/Environment_9099.htm
"Many global ecosystems, especially the polar areas, are showing signs of warming. CO2 emissions have increased during this same time period - and emissions from fossil fuels and land use changes are one source of these emissions. For our part, ExxonMobil is taking action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions today and to support the development of advanced energy technologies with the potential to significantly reduce future emissions." http://www.exxonmobil.com/corporate/campaign/climate_view.asp
< CHEVRON, TEXACO>
"At Chevron, we recognize and share the concerns of governments and the public about climate change. The use of fossil fuels to meet the world's energy needs has contributed to an increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs) – mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane – in the earth's atmosphere. There is a widespread view that this increase is leading to climate change, with adverse effects on the environment. We took early action to create a comprehensive plan to reduce GHG emissions and increase energy efficiency." http://www.chevron.com/cr_report/2005/priorities_progress_plans/climate_change/
< BRITISH PETROLEUM >
"Action to tackle greenhouse gas emissions is essential, but we must also address the fact that increases in energy consumption, vital to raise living standards, currently rely on carbon based fuels. As a global energy company, providing around 2% of the world’s primary energy, we have a responsibility to help the world meet its increasing demand for energy in a sustainable way, taking precautionary action to address the threat of climate change." http://www.bp.com/subsection.do?categoryId=9007561&contentId=7014605
"ConocoPhillips is committed to the environment and takes actions to minimize its environmental footprint. Any conversation about energy and the environment should address climate change, clean air and clean water. ConocoPhillips is developing and utilizing a wide range of technologies and processes to make its products and operations more environmentally sensitive." http://www.conocophillips.com/energy/issues/responsibility/index.htm
