For some time businesses have had strategies that mitigate their negative impact on the environment, often driven by an economic imperative. As environmental issues have come more sharply into focus many businesses are taking a more strategic and far reaching approach to their efforts, to not just mitigate negative impact but to work towards being a positive player in the environmental debate. Environmental issues for consideration include:
- Climate change
- Pollution
- Water and marine
- Biodiversity and ecosystems
- resource use and circular economy
