Climate Change: A Guide for Corporates
Authors: Hennie Stoffberg, Paul Prinsloo
With forewords by: Mosibudi Mangena and Dr Neil Eccles
ISBN: 978-1-86888-564-0
Responding to climate change is becoming a permanent feature on the agendas of companies, NGOs, employees and the broader public. Formulating appropriate responses to climate change is however often surprisingly difficult. Debates and regulations surrounding climate change are clouded in strange scientific terminology and a pile of data which overwhelm us. We may also feel that the scale and scope of climate change is so immense that our individual and corporate responses cannot really make a difference.
Climate Change: A Guide for Corporates not only actively demystifies the corporate response to climate change, but also ensures that everyone can do something to address climate change.
• It leads readers to reconsider the relationship between climate change and the corporate world.
• This is a compact guided journey into the increasingly regulatory and auditing environment which holds corporations accountable for their carbon footprint.
• The authors provide key pointers to business in a comprehensive overview of factors to consider when formulating appropriate and effective responses to climate change.
• Appropriate corporate climate change responses are vital.
The book continues with an intriguing report on an empirical study conducted on the web database of the newspaper Business Day. Findings point to the most important climate change topics of discussion in specifically the corporate environment over the last 11 years. The local Business Day frequency search is also positioned in an international context with similar searches conducted in the Wall Street Journal, the London Financial Times and the Australian Financial Review.
