Ifølge en ny undersøgelse fra PwC er fokus på ESG aftagende blandt amerikanske virksomheders bestyrelser, hvor kun lidt under halvdelen regelmæssigt diskuterer emnet, skriver Mark Segal, stifter af ESG Today.
”The survey found a decline in boardroom focus on ESG, with only around half (47%) of respondents reporting that ESG issues are regularly part of the board’s agenda, down from 52% last year and from 55% in 2022, although notably still well above 34% reported by directors in 2019. Additionally, while over half (55%) report that ESG issues are part of the board’s enterprise risk management discussions, this has also declined from 59% last year.”
PwC fremhæver: “Directors play a crucial role in guiding management to allocate resources and attention to sustainability issues. Forward-looking companies recognize the connection between committing resources to sustainability initiatives and achieving long-term success. Boards need to discern which topics have a direct impact on near-term performance or capital allocation decisions and which require monitoring without necessitating direct input.”
