Joe Biden’s victory in the U.S. presidential election is positive for companies committed to fighting the climate crisis, Unilever Chief Executive Officer Alan Jope said.

“The capital markets and investors need to invest in properly run sustainable and green businesses,” Jope said at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum Wednesday. “In that regard, an administration in the biggest economy in the world that reenters the climate-change debate and a green recovery of course is going to be good for the system.”
