Climate Change

Almost regardless of what kind of business a company does, its activities will be affected: in the short term, because of decisions made by politicians as well as other actors, such as customers, co-workers and owners; and in the long term, because of the potential effects of global warming.

By understanding climate change and how it affects the business, a company keeps the possibility to choose its actions, instead of being pressured to adapt quickly by already existing legislation. Through pro-activity, a company can even turn climate change into a business opportunity with new products, services, markets, customers and business.

Climate change has short and long term effects, and should therefore be placed on the strategic agenda of a company. Specific tools that can be used are climate strategies with a focus on business opportunities and risks, product strategies with a focus on new opportunities, risk assessment, financial perspectives, emission compensation, training, follow-up and reporting.
