As World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting starts today at Davos, the twelfth edition of the CEO sustainability study, “Reimagining the Agenda: Unlocking the Global Pathways to Resilience, Growth, and Sustainability for 2030,” is released by Accenture, according to Peter Lacy, Accenture’s Global Sustainability Services Lead.
Sustainability is paramount to CEOs, both in terms of risk and opportunity, according to a survey based on the perspectives of over 2,600 CEOs from 128 countries. Over the last decade, CEOs’ commitment to sustainability has increased, and 98% now believe it is their responsibility to make their companies more sustainable. The report shows the much faster and more widespread impacts of sustainability on businesses. Sustainability has emerged as the core of resilience – not just a climate imperative but also the foundation for security and growth.
