“The Code is a new idea to fight climate change and eliminate other corporate abuses of the public interest. Most environmental organisations don’t realise it, but they and other activists are fighting a problem with a common source. The source isn’t the specific factories or vehicles emitting greenhouse gases or even the gases themselves. It is a defect in the Corporate Law that keeps corporate directors from making the emissions stop. This defect wasn’t always there, and it doesn’t have to be in the future. The Code will eliminate the defect and impose on company directors a duty to protect the environment when their company is discovered to be causing it severe harm. All environmental organisations, political organisations, and other groups concerned about climate change should work together to support its adoption.”
