ESG: BEYOND THE TIPPING POINT

ESG: BEYOND THE TIPPING POINT

“The pandemic has presented such an existential crisis – such a stark reminder of our fragility – that it has driven us to confront the global threat of climate change more forcefully and to consider how, like the pandemic, it will alter our lives. It has reminded us how the biggest crises, whether medical or environmental, demand a global and ambitious response.”
Larry Fink

Chief executive officer of Blackrock

For many, an “ambitious response” means forcing sustainability to the top of the agenda. But are businesses on board?

We surveyed more than 500 executives around the world to find out.

Just how important is sustainability to these organizations?

Has the pandemic changed the way they think about it?

And is anything stopping them from really throwing their weight behind it?

“Regardless of geographies, for businesses emerging from an era where delivering shareholder value at any cost was the overarching aim, this new era of genuine responsibility is not without its challenges.
What’s clear from our findings is that those who are struggling to make the case for ESG will need to do so, and soon.”
