Introduction
Climate change is an issue requiring urgent and extensive action on the part of governments, business and citizens – if the risk of serious damage to global prosperity and security is to be avoided.Climate change poses both risks and opportunities to all parts of the business sector, and Nedbank believes in playing its part in increasing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
