One hundred companies are responsible for 71% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Businesses are a significant contributor to pollution, waste generation, deforestation, biodiversity loss—the list goes on. But with your expertise, you can influence organizations to take proactive steps to reduce their environmental impact.
