Abstract:
The health sector in Australia and the ASX100 is lagging far behind in the implementation of carbon management and climate risk analysis. This case study highlights the low quantity and quality of the sector compared to its market weight. The analysis of CDP disclosures for Australian healthcare companies shows this delay and a general lack of interest in the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures\' (TCFD) recommendations. Yet, the physical and transitory risks for these companies do exist. The reasons for this inaction represent a knowledge gap in the literature, but several hypotheses are formulated, such as the lack of pressure from public authorities. At the level of the ten largest healthcare companies in the world, this failure to act is not systemic, so the scope of analysis must be broadened to see a pattern emerging.
摘要:
澳大利亚的卫生部门和ASX100在实施碳管理和气候风险分析方面远远落后。此案例研究强调了该行业与其市场权重相比的低数量和质量。对澳大利亚医疗保健公司CDP披露的分析表明,这种延迟以及对气候相关财务披露工作组(TCFD)建议的普遍缺乏兴趣。然而,这些公司的物理和暂时风险确实存在。这种不作为的原因代表了文献中的知识差距,但是提出了几个假设,例如缺乏公共当局的压力。在世界十大医疗保健公司的水平上,这种失败不是系统性的,因此,必须扩大分析范围,以看到一种模式正在出现。
