Climate change is probably the toughest challenge ever faced by the human race but it gives rise to the biggest opportunity to businesses that take action now.

Our research shows that professional firms are looking for a way to show customers and staff that they are making a real contribution to the environment. The 2007 World Economic Review polled 14,000 people with 86% of respondents concerned about climate change.

There is now a strong wave of enviro-consciousness in the business community. Even the most conservative business publications are regularly reporting on the activities of green companies and the impact of business on the environment.
