Research and analysis highlights
Climate change is now central to many national and international political and legislative agendas: businesses must take this into account in planning strategically.
Consumer response to climate change is far less homogenous than believed: in addition to being inconsistent and ill-informed, there is a distinct consumer segment that actively resists business “over-reaction” in this area, penalising those businesses believed to be adding cost unnecessarily through csr programmes.
Business solutions need to take account of the fact that their CO2 emissions are the result of complex interactions between inter-locking areas in business: change needs to be considered holistically (to ensure that improvement in one area is not wiped out by worse performance in another).
