The narrative of Corporate Responsibility highlights how corporate self-interest and the pursuit of wealth lead companies to environmental harm. It stresses that the burden to repair environmental harm is borne by only companies and is based on two premises.
The first is Corporate Negligence: the failure of companies to take adequate measures to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy, and adopt sustainable practices, despite knowing the risks and consequences of climate change.
The second is Corporate Greed: the story of how corporations prioritize profits over people and the planet, contributing to climate change and its devastating impacts.
