About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Fortune 500 and carbon emission reduction

The new report from CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) - check their website - contains disclosures of greenhouse gas emissions from a larger number of large corporations. While Fortune 500 companies seem to acknowledge the problem, very few of them have systematic procedures or companywide activities to tackle CO2 reduction and other environmental issues. Investors are now more aware of climate change issues - see f.ex. this short article that reports key findings from the last report - but are still not taking the long-term view in their investment policies. The interesting trend is that more CEOs and business leaders begin to view climate change as a business issue, which will impact the sustainability of their business.
