How much responsibility do corporations have for the climate crisis and for stepping up with solutions?
Here at the ISCFC we are committed to promoting personal, community, national and planetary solutions to reduce our environmental impacts and boldly confront the climate crisis. But as individuals, we can feel powerless when there are huge corporations -such as the fossil fuel industry and factory farms– that are disproportionately responsible for carbon emissions of the past and the present.
What should we do about this? Do you agree that corporations should do more? And if so, what does that mean exactly? How do we persuade or impel polluting industries to change their ways?

Environmental performance
When it comes to environmental impact and sustainability, it becomes incredibly hard to compare corporations due to the lack of standardized reporting. Each corporation presents their data in a way that paints them in the most positive light, and the different metrics make it so that the corporations can't be directly compared, apples to oranges etc.
