Abstract

As it is becoming clear that companies must be much more consequential in the fight against climate change, we need to know more about how organizational actors navigate in this fight. Although international institutions and climate agencies have warned about the implications of climate change for decades, it is only recently that companies are making more specific commitments that reach into the distant futures, such as to become carbon neutral by 2030 (e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft, P&G), 2040 (e.g. Amazon), or 2050 (e.g. BP, Dow). For most companies this implies that they have to overcome pressure from short-term performance and go well beyond their habitual strategic time horizons into unknown territories. This symposium brings together experienced scholars discussing how we may study and conceptualize the challenges that confront managers, as they begin to integrate concerns for distant future climate change into their ongoing solutions.
