The Business of Climate Change
An Oppenheim Lecture with Professor Andrew Hoffman held February 19, 2009.
Duration: 49:35
According to scientists, climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our day. But for business, it represents something altogether different; it represents a market shift. In this talk, Professor Hoffman will discuss the market implications of climate change for business; why companies should be paying to the issue and what they can do about it; not as a call to corporate social responsibility, but as a concern of strategic importance to the future of the firm.
