Tiivistelmä: | The hard facts, however, are that any form of environmental investment costs money - and British companies operate in a financial system biased against long-term investment projects have to get past both company boards and a stock market which is hungry for ever-rising dividends and high, immediate earnings growth. If there are tangible and realisable savings then the exercise is easier, but to go beyond that and invest for a sustainable future is an act of business heroism. If there are impending ecological taxes that will raise the price of resources to their full cost, taking into account their environmental impact, then the investment can be justified. |
