Companies play a key role in the social and environmental challenges arising from a context of low-carbon economy. All strategies and established plans say that the transition towards a society with low carbon emission is viable and economically as possible, but requires innovation and investment. The companies must get involved. The companies of the 21st century must commit themselves to a sustainable society and it would be necessary is to create platforms of collaborative public-private partnerships to develop joint actions that facilitate the fulfilment of commitments or the scope of challenges acquired for the society.
This makes us reflect on the role that public institutions are playing in the initiative which had the EU create the Pacts of Mayors and commitment that local administrations has acquired with the environment. This paper encourages us to believe that we could also develop similar support structures work with local business sectors and implement pacts of companies that transfer the experience already accumulated with councils and initiate a parallel way to which even led to the reducing carbon emissions scenarios and local actors.
With such collaborative spirit we propose to develop a work Plan that we would jointly bear with the companies and that would have different sections to facilitate the implementation of measures and protocols aimed towards a sustainable economy and transition to the low carbon.
