Together with Robert Eccles, Alison Taylor, and Salesforce, we recently interviewed senior professionals across finance, technology, and sustainability functions to identify the major gaps that stand in the way of sustainability creating value for corporate strategy.
Integration of sustainability into the core of business strategy is one of the gaps identified by the research. Results from the interviews show that despite 67 percent of our respondents saying sustainability is “very important” for commercial success, only 37 percent believe sustainability is “very integrated” into the core of their business.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
