Bu çalışmanın amacı, iklim değişikliğinin iş dünyasına etkileri çerçevesinde yönetimin ve üst düzey muhasebecilerin konuya bakış açılarını, stratejik maliyet yönetimi ve stratejik yönetim muhasebesi benzeri araçların kullanımı çerçevesinde ortaya koymaktır. Hazırlanan bir elektronik form, Borsa İstanbul'da kote olan şirketlerin 2018 ve 2019'da Kamu Aydınlatma Platformu üzerinden alınan e-posta adreslerine, Haziran 2018-Haziran 2019 arasında elektronik ortamda gönderilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre, Türkiye’de bu araçların etkin biçimde kullanıldığını söylemek mümkün değildir. Üst yönetimin iklim değişikliğinin yönetilmesi gerekliliğinin tam anlamıyla bilincinde olduğunu söylemek için erkendir. Türkiye’deki yönetim muhasebecileri ve finans uzmanlarının iklim değişikliğine bakışını ortaya koyan bu çalışma, literatüre katkıda bulunmaktadır.
