Around the world, the growing problematic of climate change has impacted people, companies, and businesses in general.
As is known, heat waves have negative health consequences and heavy rains often lead to floods and inundations. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us that, as human beings, we are all connected and this “new” reality (which has been going on for some time, so it is not that new anymore), it may well be compared to the challenges of the climate emergency that we are also facing. Both require a global response, a long-term thinking and that companies do their part.
Increasingly, companies recognize that their actions, values, and the ability to generate profits are becoming more interconnected. In the eyes of stakeholders and the growing expectations of young people, future clients, employees, and partners, if we are not serving the interests of the planet, then we are not serving their interests either. For corporations, it is a question of integrating concerns about climate change not only in their operations, but also in their risk management policies, and it is therefore worth facing major difficulties in accessing investment and financing, or an increased tax burden.
