An article for Wharton Global Youth Program highlights CERL Affiliated Faculty Eric Ort’s latest research around the role that businesses can play in addressing climate-related issues.

According to Prof. Orts, “Businesses can’t just say, ‘Hey, we’re going to follow the same path we’ve been following.’ Business has an ethical responsibility just like consumers, citizens, governments and everyone else in society to help contribute to solving the climate problem.”

Eric W. Orts is the Guardsmark Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is a professor in the Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department with a joint appointment in the Management Department. His faculty page is available here.
