Abstract

The process of global climate change (CC) has been confirmed by a scientific report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The reports cites the causes of CC as being human activity combined with natural factors. This has led to the development of different instruments to fight CC and the setting of specific goals for societies. Businesses are also implicated in this process, both in terms of the causes of the problem and its solution. In this study we analyse how issues and objectives regarding CC are dealt with in the context of Corporate Social Responsibility. We also investigate the challenges that companies face, focusing primarily on the case of Spain in the context of the European Union.
