The impacts of, and response to climate change will result in wide-reaching changes to supply chains, technologies and trading conditions.
Companies are taking action: There has been a step-up in ambitious corporate targets as companies look to meet investor and or customer expectation and manage long-term climate related risks.
Consumer pressure for business to ‘do the right thing’ is increasing and inaction means real risk to future business success.
