Over the past year, the climate community has at long last come together with the environmental justice movement to bring equity and justice to the forefront of discourse and built it into foundations of action. Focus is on the inequity of the greatest impacts being on those least responsible and most vulnerable; the common and co-dependent causes of climate change and environmental injustice; and the acknowledgement that climate action can exacerbate inequities and entrench unjust systems. But for many corporations — even those with ambitious climate strategies — equity and climate remain separate and stove-piped. Companies are asking themselves about their role in climate equity and justice. What they can do that would have meaningful impact? What business value is there with regard to risk, financials, or reputation? What would it mean for products and services? Are customers, employees, and investors asking for companies to take action? How can companies make a difference? This panel will address these questions, and explore practical steps for answering them.
