Lubber, president of Ceres and director of the Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR). "This toolkit is a powerful tool that all leading corporations should use to improve their competitive positioning on this complex issue."
The guidebook outlines the basic steps for developing a corporate climate strategy, including:
The toolkit also includes case studies from companies that have developed successful climate strategies, including General Electric, American Electric Power, Chevron, Ford and Bank of America.
