Investors Pressure Corporations to Address Climate

[kgrandia]

With the threat of climate change gaining greater recognition in the scientific, political, and businesses communities, investors are applying increased pressure on publicly traded corporations to study, analyze, and disclose the risks associated with this threat.

As a result, more publicly traded companies are including environmental risks in their annual reports, which may help investors more accurately judge the physical and financial effects of climate change on these businesses.

1. Wise, wise investors.

That's protecting their assets. If the shit hits the fan with something like global warming and big changes are forced by government, unprepared corporations will be economically trashed.
