The contribution of asset management to climate change policies

摘要

This paper deals with the three usual economic approaches to environmental protection, namely efficient markets, environmental economics and ecological economics. It focuses on a forth approach, which concerns the operational level of a business. This level is illustrated by an increasing number of criteria for global reporting, namely Social Accountability, ISO-norms etc, from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. However, no commonly accepted standards exist. This paper shows what contributions 'green' asset management makes to climate change policies.
