Climate Change Concerns More Corporations - eBilling Can Help Your CSR

Climate change is increasingly topping the agenda in companies across the world. More and more businesses are searching for ways to protect the environment, and their profits.

The topic of climate change has also entered boardrooms. Top brass have warmed to the notion of cutting back on work-related flights, as well as driving cars which emit fewer emissions, and implementing green energy and electronic billing.

Susanna Monni is the Executive Director at Finnish Business and Society, a network which encourages corporations to embrace social responsibility. She said that Al Gore's Nobel and Oscar award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, delivered a powerful global message on climate change. The Stern Report, which put a price tag on the effects of climate change, also shook up the business world.

Image is also part of the bargain. Consumers in industrialised countries are increasingly selecting products with certifications of sustainability, or from companies with 'green' images.
