The Aligning of Decarbonisation and Company Performance Goals
Abstract
Decarbonisation is seen as a critical factor of environmental protection policies. They include various forms of carbon emission control, carbon pricing, and the use of environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) standards and metrics. Although the urgent need for it was recognised by business communities, decarbonisation process is rather slow because of some contradiction between the interests of the company’s internal and external stakeholders. To solve this problem and achieve corporate strategic goals, we proposed a methodology based on the decoupling effect and green resource orchestration theory. In the paper, we explained the logic of aligning decarbonisation goals with company strategic objectives; described requirements and conditions for that; and confirmed that this approach can be used by companies worldwide.
