The business of Wesfarmers isresilient and the operations as well as the global competition are necessary to be maintained incase of the outside competition. The organisation is committed to operating in a sustainablemanner and the environmental as well as the social responsibilities of the company are takenextremely seriously by the company. The different aspects of the business in which theorganisation specialises in are equally important to the authorities in order to remain the globalsupergiant it already is and also aims to improve the future performances in order to ensure thatthe business is sustainable in the long term. The company authorities as well as the workers arenever undeterred by challenges and perceive them as every opportunity to grow (Jones, Comfortand Hillier 2014).The organisation is committed to managing the community as well as the environmentalimpact along with the effects on the community.

Thewastage is also reduced, along with all these requirements the corporate governance of theorganisation is maintained at all times (Daley 2012).The organisation acknowledges that the World is changing due to the advent of newertechnologies and climate changes of significant magnitude. The rising temperatures, shortage ofwater as well as the scarcity of the food supplies are affecting the people (Niesche 2014). Unlessthe issues are addressed soon enough, they will severely impact the environment as well as thepublic. In order to ensure that the risks and their management will have economic, social as wellas environmental benefits, the company works towards the common goal. The organisationaldivisions respond to the climate changes in two specific ways. At first, the green house gasemissions are managed actively as well as monitoring is done by the company. The cases inwhich the emissions can be reduced are done as soon as possible (Islam, Azizul, Jain, and Haque2016). The organisation always aims to understand the specific nature of the risks that arecreated by the climatic change for the businesses and tries to solve the risks immediately. TheAustralian commitment under the Paris Agreement towards a global agreement to limit themagnitude of global warming is supported by Wesfarmers. They support that the global warmingshould be kept 1.5-2 degrees Celsius above the pre industrial levels. The organisation believesthat the industry as well as the governments should work together in order to achieve the positiveoutcome. The long term policy certainty is a pre-requisite for the decarbonisation to occurefficiently as well as affordably. The company aims to improve the greenhouse gas efficiency oftheir operations in order to reduce their own business costs as well as risks as also thecontribution to the climate change mitigation the company is always responsible as well asefficient (Akbar, Suraiyah, and Ahsan 2014).
