It’s impossible to ignore the challenges of climate change.
In 2021, Australia and California were ravaged by wildfires, while in Europe, 2020 was the hottest year on record, and the peak of the Greenland Ice Sheet experienced rain for the first time in recorded history. Nations and states are scrambling to put together a coordinated response to these global challenges, and all businesses must play a role.
You might be thinking, in the cut-throat world of business, who cares? It turns out, everyone! From customers and CEOs all the way to investors, everyone you deal with cares. As Paul Hawken (Environmentalist & Entrepreneur) says “Being a good human being is good business”.
