Global climate change is fast outpacing the scale and magnitude of human response. As its implications to socio-economic and political stability become apparent, organizations worldwide are re-posturing to drive affirmative climate action. However, climate change considerations for business are no longer the sole responsibility of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) office or sustainability department.
Sustainability is increasingly integrated throughout the business, incorporated into management strategies up through the C-Suite, with governance to include board-level oversight. External stakeholders, such as investors, governments and B2B and B2C customers, are increasing pressure to ensure that companies are not only reducing organizational footprint, but also ensuring resiliency for the future impacts of climate change.

Local leaders representing over a third of the population sign up to UK100 initiative that aims to deliver net zero emission communities by 2045
The UK100 group of local authorities and councils has this week announced that nearly 60 cross-party local leaders, representing 35 per cent of the UK population, have now committed to delivering net zero emissions at least five years earlier than the UK-wide goal of 2050.
The group said that 57 councils had now signed up its Net Zero Pledge, which explicitly commits them to neutralising council emissions by 2030 and those of their residents and businesses by 2045.
