Worsening climate change risks have spurred calls for firms to do their part to shift to a carbon-neutral world economy—frequently under so-called environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks.
Analyzing the role companies can play in tackling climate change, this book shows how they can set up effective ESG frameworks and draft resilient strategies for sustainable activities and investment. It assesses the issue of climate justice, considers the impact of “greenwashing,” and looks at ways investors can evaluate ESG considerations.
