Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing humanity, a
definitive manifestation of the well-worn links between progress
and devastation. This book explores the complex relationship that
the corporate world has with climate change and examines the
central role of corporations in shaping political and social
responses to the climate crisis. The principal message of the book
is that despite the need for dramatic economic and political
change, corporate capitalism continues to rely on the maintenance
of 'business as usual'. The authors explore the different processes
through which corporations engage with climate change. Key
discussion points include climate change as business risk,
corporate climate politics, the role of justification and
compromise, and managerial identity and emotional reactions to
climate change. Written for researchers and graduate students, this
book moves beyond descriptive and normative approaches to provide a
sociologically and critically informed theory of corporate
responses to climate change.
