Pottinger Joint CEO Nigel LakeTwenty two of the world’s largest and most influential companies have a critical message for Australia: Urgent and focussed action on climate change is an economic and social imperative.

Through the global Corporate Leaders Group (CLG) initiative, these companies, including Acciona, Coca Cola, EDF, Ferrovial, GlaxoSmithKlein, Jaguar/Landrover, Kingfisher, Lloyds Bank, Philips, Shell, Skanska, Tesco and Unilever, are working to encourage political leaders in the UK, Europe and elsewhere in the world to take urgent and strong action on climate change. 

The CLG companies have met in London this week to identify how business can contribute to system-level change towards a sustainable world, including through immediate and effective action on climate change.

In a joint statement, the CLG companies said: “The Corporate Leaders Group companies believe that climate risks can be successfully managed and that the transition to a net-zero emission economy can be delivered in ways that create new business opportunities, with manageable costs.”

As global leaders in their industries, these companies between them are worth about $1 trillion. Collectively, they generate $1100 billion of revenue every year and employ 1.75 million people. Together, their brands are household names in every country in the world.
