Research output: Thesis › Doctoral Thesis

Abstract

Climate change is a global problem that must necessarily be addressed through effective co-operation. This co-operation must occur at the international, national and firm levels and can only be made possible under conditions of commitment and trust. My research investigates the extent to which carbon footprint accounting by FTSE100 companies reveals credible corporate commitment, and explores the impact of professional culture on carbon reporting.
