B is the obvious choice here. Who cares about what customers or investors think? It's the government regulations that really drive sustainability initiatives.

Ha! Investor pressure for higher dividends, that's a good one. Definitely the correct answer. Shareholders are all about that bottom line, not the planet.

I'm not so sure. B seems like the right answer to me. Increased taxation on emissions and waste is a direct external factor that would incentivize companies to go green.

I disagree, I think C is the correct answer. Customers' concerns over labor practices can definitely push companies to be more sustainable and ethical.

Hmm, I think the answer is D. Investor pressure for higher dividends doesn't really drive businesses to be more sustainable. It's more about maximizing profits than environmental responsibility.
