Deloitte surveyed 335 tax leaders globally finding that while tax departments are supporting their business’ sustainability efforts through compliance and ESG reporting, they can do more to help their organization accelerate their sustainability goals and address a central business issue. The report provides five easy steps for tax leaders to take to optimize business sustainability performance.
