2025 C-suite Sustainability Report

The next wave of business value

For the fourth year, Deloitte Global surveyed more than 2,100 executives across
27 countries and results indicated that sustainability remains a priority for global business leaders with increased investment and technology helping drive progress.

A top priority generating business value

According to survey responses, sustainability remains a top three priority on the C-suite agenda, alongside technology adoption and artificial intelligence (AI).

Leaders recognize the business case and related benefits of corporate sustainability efforts. Over the past year investments have increased—and revenue generation was the most frequently reported business benefit of sustainability  actions.

Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are key enablers, helping organizations transform their sustainability efforts to create lasting business value and a more resilient future.

Forward-thinking leaders have an opportunity to assess whether their sustainability strategy and investments are integrated with key performance drivers, material risks, and strategic priorities—helping ensure they continue delivering value and operational resilience into the future.
