With the devastating economic impact of COIVD-19 around the world and the paradigm shift that it has precipitated in U.S. corporations and workplaces by placing a premium on corporate agility and adaptability, I wanted to ask Professor Henderson if major companies have “woken up” to the imminent tangible threat of climate change and are now willing to take major steps to address it. I know that there has been some progress on this front, such as a surge in sustainable investing and ESG metrics in the financial industry and a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions in the near future by corporations such as Nike and Pepsi, but I wasn’t sure if this represented a major break from past views and actions on climate change, or if they were merely a continuation of past policies but framed in a radical-sounding way.
