Corporate support for climate action has grown rapidly this year. Leading household names are realising how important it is to limit global warming and are taking things into their own hands. Facebook, Nestlé and Amazon are among the companies that have recently set their own goals to reduce emissions, shift to renewable energy or undertake other environmentally-friendly plans.
In fact, the ‘Science Based Targets Initiative’, an organisation set up to help companies reduce their carbon footprint, just welcomed its 1000th member. It’s becoming clear that setting climate targets can be a real boost to a company’s Corporate Social Responsibility, enhancing their reputation, sales and customer satisfaction.
