In response to the UN’s recent climate report, BCG’s CEO Rich Lesser joined CNN to urge businesses and governments to work together to avoid the gravest consequences of climate change. His advice for companies is to increase their ambitions, setting the fight against climate change as one of their top three business priorities. Executives should follow through by creating measurable goals, evaluating their entire supply chains, building the fundamentals—including how to allocate capital and retrain departments—and playing an active role in public advocacy. Lesser says industries must work together to bear the financial costs of such a transformation so the effect on the consumer remains low.
