Executive Summary
The past few months have stirred up a perfect storm in the sustainability landscape. In the US, President Donald Trump’s anti-ESG stance has resulted in the rollback of key sustainability measures, signalling a sharp policy shift. Meanwhile, in Europe, the EU’s Omnibus proposal aims to ease certain sustainability regulations, due to concerns over their impact on business competitiveness and economic growth. While these regulatory changes might seem like a move away from sustainability, they are only part of the picture. The interplay of the evolving policy and regulatory environment with growing investor pressure and shifting customer expectations is transforming the sustainability agenda in complex ways. In this report, we explore these rapidly changing dynamics and examine what they mean for the future of the sustainability services market.
