Executive Summary
If you're a Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), the pressure is on. The stakes are higher than ever, while disclosure regulations – like the EU’s CSRD – roll in, stakeholders and consumers are pushing for greater transparency around business practices. In order for a business to survive in the coming years, a robust ESG and sustainability strategy is paramount.
But how will you know if you're getting it right?
This webinar will draws on the data collected from our recently published global survey of 400 ESG and sustainability executives to help attendees benchmark their firms’ budgets, investment priorities and technology preferences relative to their global peer group.
Join us to explore:
- Key trends in ESG and sustainability strategy in 2024 and beyond
- How budgets are being bolstered in response to new regulations, and how firms are investing them
- Sector and region-specific funding priorities
