Abstract—The Paris agreement on climate change establishes guidelines for the performance of companies in relation to emissions reduction, governance, and disclosure through the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark. As a result, companies in all signatory countries are obliged to reduce their emissions and consumption of non-renewable forms of energy by 2050. Since this accord affects all companies from all industries globally, every company needs to establish their own internal procedures to achieve established targets. Securing new forms of energy supplies results is a new challenge for companies and results in uncertainty and additional transaction costs with potential effects on profitability and thus shareholder value. As a method to maintain shareholder value, companies have therefore sought to offset resulting higher costs with organic sales growth. Therefore, we investigate the link between organic sales growth in a large publicly traded multinational Procter & Gamble as a result of its implementation of renewable energy policies and increased utilisation of renewable energies in production. We use time-series data from 2002 to 2022.
