En ny undersøgelse fra EY viser, at investorer og topledere har vidt forskellige holdninger til bæredygtighed. Undersøgelsen tager udgangspunkt i holdninger fra 1040 CFO’er og andre finansledere samt 320 institutionelle investorer i hele verden.
Undersøgelsen konkluderer blandt andet:
- 78% of investors want companies to focus on environmental, social, and governance activity, even if it hits short-term profits; but only 55% of businesses are willing to do so
- Almost all investors surveyed (99%) say that ESG reporting is a crucial part of their investment decision making, but three quarters (76%) feel that organizations are ‘highly selective’ about the information they provide – raising concerns about greenwashing – and almost nine in ten (88%) hold the view that companies only disclose when they are forced to do so.
- Just over half (54%) of the organizations surveyed said they provide investors with relevant information on sustainability activity,
- two fifths (41%) of finance leaders interviewed, admitted their current ESG reporting would not stand up to the scrutiny of basic assurance standards, known as “reasonable assurance.”
