| Synopsis: |
Climate change has fundamental implications for all areas of business practice, including operations, supply chain management, product development, market access and customer relationships. To respond effectively, companies need to recognize climate change as a strategic issue that is fundamentally about long-term value creation. This book shares the experiences and reflections of six leading companies - BASF, Deutsche Post, Maersk, National Grid, Standard Chartered and Vodafone - that have thought particularly deeply about how climate change may affect their businesses and have developed strategies that enable them to respond effectively over the short, medium and long term. Based on this experience, it offers a series of practical recommendations to companies seeking to respond effectively to climate-change related business drivers while also offering them the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances. |
