For the fourth year, Deloitte surveyed UK C-suite executives, with results indicating that sustainability remains a priority for business leaders, as increased investment and technology help drive progress.
According to survey responses, sustainability remains a top-three priority on the C-suite agenda, alongside technology adoption and artificial intelligence (AI).
Leaders recognise 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 organisations 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.
