A survey of CEOs released Monday revealed that climate change issues were not even ranked among the top 10 threats to business growth.
"Sustainable business" has become a buzzword in the corporate world, and climate change is a key topic at this year's gathering of political and business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Bob Moritz, chair of PwC International, told CNBC Monday that chief executives see climate-related issues as an opportunity, rather than a challenge. "Likewise, the other group that's differentiating is the employees. We see much more employee activism. So if an organization is not focused on climate, it's less likely they're going to get the people wanting to join those organizations," he added.
Carmine Di Sibio, chief executive of EY, told CNBC Tuesday that "everything that I'm hearing here from our clients, from CEOs and from my friends ... Everything today is around stakeholder capital and climate."
