Survey: Half of companies are hiring new talent to meet ESG reporting requirements
The responsibility for managing sustainability disclosures still falls primarily on the CSO – though it is spreading to other functions.
Hiring new talent is now the most common initiative taken by companies to enhance GHG measurements and meet ESG reporting requirements, according to a Deloitte survey.
In December 2022, just 40% of companies surveyed were hiring new people for this function. Instead, companies were focused on including ESG in disclosure committee reviews and SOX controls (used to ensure the integrity of financial data).
