ISBN: 9781909293069 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Business has recently woken up to the need to address environmental sustainability in a meaningful way.

The standard methods of "switch it off" stickers, awareness presentations and proclamations from the top have proved incapable of delivering the shift in attitudes required.

If a company has reason to worry about the potential impacts of weather on its operations and supply chains, it probably has cause to worry about climate change as well. However, "adapting to the weather" is not the same as incorporating climate change adaptation into corporate planning....
