Abstract
The article discusses the issue of climate changes and corporate responsibility. Corporate sustainable development imposes attention to environmental problems, that makes companies to switch to environmentally friendly technologies, reducing carbon emission, cutting natural sources’ deployment. It was researched that decarbonization of corporations may give not only social contribution, but also financial benefits. The most vulnerable for the “green economy demand” companies of energy industry were put to the sample and the economic effect of decarbonization was computed. The calculation allows to continue discussion about sustainable development of corporations alongside their environmental responsibility.
