2025 C-suite Sustainability Report
The next wave of business value
For the second year, Deloitte Global surveyed more than 100 executives in the Middle East from Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates and Qatar 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 is the top priority on the C-suite agenda, alongside technology adoption and Geopolitics.
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.
Key findings from survey results
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.
