Sustainability is maturing

In 2002, only 45% of the world’s top 250 companies reported on sustainability, but today, that number has surged to 96%. This shift indicates that sustainability metrics, once a distinguishing factor for companies, have now become a standard practice.

As geopolitical and regulatory challenges continue to develop, the definition of what it means to be a sustainable business is also changing. This evolution reflects the growing importance of sustainability in the corporate world and highlights the need for businesses to adapt to new expectations and risks.
