Survey: Most financial executives are lost on how to report ESG data
More guidance on data collection must be granted to help companies tap into their ESG-driven potential, says Jens Laue.
Many executives think that they must forgo revenue and profit for the sake of society and the planet. That is not always the case, though more guidance must be granted to help companies tap into their ESG-driven potential, says Jens Laue, global lead for ESG measurement and analytics at Accenture.
Data show that ESG-driven companies aren’t taking hits. A recent Accenture survey of more than 700 chief financial officers across several countries found a direct correlation between a company’s ESG measurement, management and talent capabilities and its ability to see sustainability as an opportunity.
