Reduce contribution?

In some industries, recycling helps companies reduce their contribution to nearly all of our top 10 environmental problems.

Contribution is something you do to make things to be successful, right?

But environmental problem isn't a success..

Should it be 'Increase their contribution'?

When I say 'reduce impact or influence on environmental problems.'
it sounds like environmental pollutions decrease but when I say reduce contribution to environmental problems, it sounds like the companies are doing nothing on environmental problems anymore.
