Global Corporate ESG Survey 2021: Digital Tech Investment Plans By Industry

Executive Summary

The accelerating adoption of ESG metrics by the financial community is radically changing the way firms think about sustainability management (see Verdantix Market Overview: Investor Focus On ESG Will Transform Sustainability Strategies). How are corporates adjusting their budgets and priorities for ESG information management in the face of these new market drivers? To find out, we asked a global panel of 400 senior ESG and sustainability executives to tell us the extent to which they estimate that spending on sustainability initiatives will change in 2022 compared with 2021 (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey: ESG And Sustainability Governance, Strategies And Priorities). This report helps heads of strategy and marketing, and product leaders at providers of ESG software and services, explore technology investment trends by industry. Firms should use this report to inform their business planning and to keep track of the evolution of the ESG and sustainability market.
