TranscriptWhat’s the business rationale for prioritizing climate change?
Having a solid grasp of an organization’s impact on the climate presents the opportunity to better optimize business. Firms can reap the benefits, but an understanding of their total footprint is required. Indeed, they must examine their impact beyond company walls, casting a broad net that covers the total value chain.
Understanding a company’s holistic impact is one of the many recommendations offered by Dr. Uwe Schulte, Leader of the Global Sustainability Centre at The Conference Board, in a new episode of CEO Perspectives. This week, Uwe joined President and CEO Steve Odland to discuss climate change: what are the causes and what can governments, businesses, and individuals do to combat it?
