A New Reality for CFOs – ESG is the Top Priority

Download

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics and measurement rate as the top priority for CFOs, other finance leaders and their teams for the next 12 months, according to our latest Global Finance Trends Survey. Three out of five organisations (60%) report a substantial increase in the focus and frequency of their reporting related to ESG issues in the past year (on top of similar findings in prior surveys), and there is a notable jump in finance groups in which measuring and reporting on ESG risks and issues is becoming part of their role. Just as noteworthy, there is little difference in ESG perspectives and priorities among publicly and privately held organisations, even though public companies increasingly are required to address a greater number of ESG-related regulatory requirements around the world. Clearly, stakeholder demands and interests regarding ESG are affecting entities of all kinds.
