ESG Analyst Survey 2023: Mind the gap
26 June 2023
When the going gets tough, you can see who’s still committed to sustainable investing. On the one hand, it’s clear the companies the analysts cover aren’t moving fast enough, especially when it comes to meeting emissions targets. On the other, sustainability is embedding in many companies, gradually becoming the new normal. What emerges from the survey of our analysts is actionable: for politicians, a clear request for consistent regulation across the world. For companies, transparency and a view on where their efforts measure up to their rivals. And for investors, an awareness that companies in China are racing to catch up.
