| Tiivistelmä: | In this study the author examines the motivations, drivers and barriers to carbon management. Empirical case is conducted where companies of the UK FTSE 100 are studied. The focus is in distinguishing between motivations and drivers for corporate carbon management with UK FTSE companies studied. Motivations in this study are identified as factors that closely connect to the innate concern of business for profit and comparative advantage. Drivers are considered as being the factors that are rooted in wider societal pressures and concern for the environment. Based on the UK study, the paper presents five motivations and five drivers for corporate activity on climate change. In addition present barriers to corporate activity on climate change are discussed and problems recognized that should be investigated in greater depth to enhance the understanding of the carbon management activities of corporate actors. |
