The climate is changing

Companies that are not responding to the issues of climate change, including greenhouse gas emissions, may be putting much at risk — including their competitive position, their stakeholders’ confidence and their bottom-line results. Organizations can develop the integrated and strategic plans they’ll need to adapt by appropriately assigning responsibility, taking an enterprise-wide view and using relevant planning tools that address the full extent of uncertainties. These organizations will more effectively manage through the unavoidable risks that climate change presents — and will be positioned to recognize and act on opportunities to build new value.
