At the 22nd Conference of the Parties in 2016, the roles of non-state actors in global climate change were emphasized with a particular focus on international frameworks for corporate activities. Frameworks are intended to serve as international governance to help regulate corporate actions. However, companies’ climate-related activities are voluntary and produce several issues. The current research addresses the following questions: How do international business frameworks work for governing and enforcing the practical implementation of corporate activities? In the future, what functions are expected to work for business sectors ensuring the 2050 goals? This study examines the function of international business frameworks from different perspectives according to socio-environmental challenges, enforcement measures, organizers, and embedded problems. First, the development process of the motivation of corporate activities is examined, from Corporate Social Responsibility to the long-term vision. Second, we conduct a thorough review of the public and private regimes and identify three key components of private regimes to achieve effective, legitimate, and compliant functions: participation, accountability, and norms. These three components are not ensured by one regime, but by different types of international frameworks: industry associations, international organizations, and third parties. This study illustrates how these three types of frameworks work with the key components for enforcement. Furthermore, with increasing expectations for corporate actions, companies are creating their own visions and principles to attain the 2050 global goal. This paper demonstrates that the function of international frameworks is expected to strengthen in terms of supporting and governing a company’s actions.

国际商业框架在管理公司实现 2050 年目标的气候变化相关行动方面的作用

2016 年第 22 届缔约方大会强调了非国家行为者在全球气候变化中的作用,特别关注企业活动的国际框架。框架旨在作为国际治理来帮助规范公司行为。然而,公司的气候相关活动是自愿的,会产生一些问题。当前的研究解决了以下问题: 国际商业框架如何管理和加强公司活动的实际实施?未来,哪些职能有望为确保 2050 年目标的业务部门发挥作用?本研究根据社会环境挑战、执法措施、组织者、和嵌入式问题。首先,考察了企业活动动机的发展过程,从企业社会责任到长远愿景。其次,我们对公共和私人制度进行彻底审查,并确定私人制度的三个关键组成部分,以实现有效、合法和合规的功能:参与、问责和规范。这三个组成部分不是由一种制度来保证的,而是由不同类型的国际框架来保证的:行业协会、国际组织和第三方。本研究说明了这三种类型的框架如何与执行的关键组件一起工作。此外,随着对企业行动的期望越来越高,企业正在制定自己的愿景和原则,以实现 2050 年全球目标。
