In an environmental report Thursday, the Chicago-based plane maker set goals to cut carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption and hazardous waste one percent by 2012.

It also aims to improve solid waste recycling rates from about 60 percent to 75 percent.

Boeing says the company will also push its suppliers to use less energy, produce less carbon dioxide and operate more efficiently.
