The Paris Agreement signed in 2015 ushered in a new era in corporate strategy. This new era is one where companies and investors play a fundamental role in addressing the key issue of our time – climate change.

Climate change experts have been warning us for the past 30 years of such extreme weather conditions due to global warming, and this reality should be setting in for many of us as we watch weather patterns become more and more intense. As individuals, we try to do our part to reduce our environmental impact. We recycle, we buy electric cars, we support conservation efforts, we buy clean electricity … but have you ever stopped to wonder what corporations are doing to help prevent global warming?
