BIS: Does Gender Diversity In The Workplace Mitigate Climate Change?

Date 16/11/2021

Focus

At the 2021 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26), leaders from around the globe reached consensus on key actions to address climate change. These include rules that will govern the 2015 Paris climate accord, which aims to limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C (ideally 1.5°C) since pre-industrial times, and will provide funding to help countries to adapt to climate change. Studying how firms' organisational structure can affect climate change is thus relevant for policymakers. We hypothesise that women in managerial positions may be better suited than male managers to reducing firm CO2 emissions. Our hypothesis finds support in the literature which suggests that women are more inclined to counter climate change as they may be more likely to consider overall societal well-being without focusing narrowly on shareholders' interest.
