Abstract:
The call for companies’ awareness about environmental problems has been spreading by many international organisations. The main initiatives concern the disclosure of non financial information (for all EU Dir. 95/2014) and in particular of environmental data in order to highlight the related future risks and promoting the use of low emission technologies. This raising consciousness has encouraged governments to play an active role in the mitigation and adaptation of climate change. Companies are ruled at international and national level at the aim of reducing the negative environmental impact of their production activity. Further, good environmental performance indicators may allow companies to improve their brand image and to attract new investors. At corporate level, an internal process of redesign is therefore undergoing toward a green supply chain management suitable with environmental protection. The current thesis aims at investigating such an internal perspective focusing on corporate carbon strategies adopted by a company to reduce carbon emission. Relying on the corporate carbon strategy framework developed by Damert et al. (2017) I investigated the case study of Speedline S.r.l.
