The third edition of Deloitte's 2024 CxO Sustainability Report Survey over 2,100 executives across 27 countries on their views and strategies related to Sustainability and climate change.
The report shows that climate change remains a top three issue for global C-suite level business leaders (CxOs), surpassing political uncertainty, competition for talent and the changing regulatory environment, among others. A key indicator of climateās staying power on leadersā agendas is that 85% of CxOs say they have increased investments in Sustainability in the past yearāup from 75% in 2023āand half have started to implement technology solutions to help achieve climate goals.
Executives are beginning to see more tangible benefits from taking climate action for their organisationsāpointing to Sustainability as a driver of new products, business models and value creation overall.
