Coming clean on climate change

HALF of Australia's biggest companies are risking cost blow-outs, an increased regulatory burden and reputational damage from climate change, according to an international report. The report from the London-based Ethical Research Investment Services and the Centre for Australian Ethical Research in Canberra found that 48% of Australia's largest 200 companies are classified as having a high or very high potential impact from climate change. Collectively, these companies account for more than $545 billion in market value.
