A tip of the iceberg

Already 92% of companies are taking steps in terms of sustainability, although perception about ‘being engaged in sustainability’ is more positive than effective behaviour. More than half of researched companies recognizes benefits on the level of employees’ sense of ownership (57%), customer satisfaction (53%), and employee retention (51%). This begs the question: Why are ‘key business drivers’ like market share, growth and profit less recognized as drivers?  

Additional to companies with sustainable ambitions, 22% has not included these efforts into a policy initiative. In other words, a broader approach is missing. What is holding these companies back? For example, knowledge about the EU’s new sustainability reporting requirements, known as CSRD, poses a challenge for many SME’s. Half of the companies questioned, are not familiar with CSRD.
