本文探讨了女性和外国公司董事如何影响其公司的气候变化行为。这项研究发现，女性董事有助于制定其公司的气候变化愿景，外国董事有助于制定气候变化使命。日本制定了到2050年将温室气体排放量减少到净零的长期目标，这是一个极其难以实现的目标。我们的研究结果表明，任命女性和外籍董事对实现净零排放至关重要。我们的研究结果还表明，公司董事的多样性需要进一步扩大。
This paper examines how female and foreign corporate directors influence their corporation’s climate change behaviour. This study found that female directors contribute to the formulation of their company’s climate change vision, and foreign directors contribute to the formulation of a climate change mission. Japan has set a long-term goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, an extremely difficult goal to achieve. Our results suggest that it is important to appoint female and foreign directors to achieve net zero emissions. Our results also suggest that diversity among company directors needs to be further expanded.
