According to the data collected, three out of five CEOs surveyed say they are acting on climate change to create a “reputational” advantage, while over half are motivated by improving shareholder value and building trust in their organisation…The data collated shows CEOs’ top climate concerns are impacts on energy prices and the potential increase in government regulation. Longer-term climate impacts are a lesser concern with impacts on supply chains and infrastructure.
