Background
Businesses can play a crucial role in addressing the social and equity dimensions of climate change by adopting sustainable practices in their operations, supply chains, and products. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, using renewable energy sources, and promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
