Business Assurance Thought of the Day, July 28, 2009 Climate Change

28th Jul 2009 by Alex Briggs

We are also quite sceptical when confronted with environmental claims from large organisations, assuming they are either greenwash or for PR.
That makes the following statement from Gavin Neath, Senior VP for Unilever all the more suprising and important:

The harsh realities are that for the last thirty years or so the environmental movement has been right on this question and business has been fundamentally wrong. I think the salient point to make is that although business is now engaged with this question and many businesses are doing good work on it, the reality is that isn’t the case for all businesses and I don’t think business has fully internalised the consequences for it.
