Summary

The Tomorrow’s Global Company inquiry examined what it would take for the global company of the future to survive and prosper.

 

It found that climate change presents a unique and crucial test of companies’ ability to use their power and influence to help create a more sustainable future.

 

Climate change is an issue companies cannot avoid. It is one of the most daunting challenges humanity has faced and there is a growing consensus that it needs to be confronted within the next decade, or sooner. Global warming not only presents direct risks such as droughts, flooding and extreme weather events, but threatens to exacerbate other issues such as water shortages, geo-political tensions and disease.

 

On these pages, forceforgood.com provides a range of briefing materials for business people on this topic, reviewing the science of climate change, the political efforts to address it and the role that businesses have played and can play in the future.

The power to influence individuals' decisions is the power to change the world. Media has that power - it reaches more than 75% of the global population and the existence of an advertising industry demonstrates it can influence the decisions that we make. No government, no company, no supranational body has both reach and the ability to change our decisions. How can media help the world "accelerate out of trouble"?
