How Business Can Respond to the Grim Predictions for Climate Change

Professor of Business Strategy

The world is waiting to see how business responds to the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report Climate Change 2007.

Will big business led by big oil and the automotive industries continue to down play what is now an unequivocal call to change the way we live? Or will the fledgling efforts of a few business leaders such as General Electric's Jeffrey Imhoff and Duke Power's Paul Anderson hold sway?

The fact is that more companies are coming to understand that continued prosperity vitally depends on how we treat the environment. As a result companies ranging from global companies like Agilent to smaller local companies like Oliver's Markets are pursuing a wide range of â€œgreenâ€ business initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption. While much of the movement during the past year has come as a result of skyrocketing oil prices and related energy and transportation costs the moral imperative of the UN Report will add impetus and push more companies to seek to show that they are doing something.
