Abstract

A major issue confronting humanity in the world today is global climate changeClimate change. What appears the certainty is that the world is becoming an unsafe place for human existence due to the increasing rate of degradation to the environment. It is obvious that companies are a major contributor to climate warming. In 2017, it was reported that only 100 companies have contributed to over 71% of greenhouse gas emission in the world since 1988. However, there has been inspiring efforts by some companies to change the narrative. In recent times, many global firms have critically assessed their environmentalism and are therefore adopting several pro-environmental policies and practices such as green supply chains, green finance, and green marketing.
