Long term business risks of climate change need to be faced, not ignored

16th May 2007

Continuity Central reports on a speech made by UK Environment and Climate Change Minister Ian Pearson

“Climate change already poses risks to businesses - and these will only increase in the future. Climate change can affect a corporation’s profitability and investors are right to be asking searching questions about how businesses are facing up to the realities, as well as the business opportunities of climate change. This is not a box-ticking exercise. Greenwash is of no use to institutional investors when making financial decisions.”
