ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Sentiment Polls Q3 2023 Thematic Report Overview
GlobalData believes ESG will be the critical theme impacting businesses over the next decade. However, over a quarter of respondents to this sentiment poll did not know if their company had an ESG strategy. Companies must do more to communicate their ESG strategies clearly to meet government transparency and disclosure requirements.
Increased economic pressures and recent technology developments have continued diverting corporate attention away from the ESG theme. Over half of respondents believe most companies treat ESG as just a marketing exercise. This is damaging public faith in corporations’ sincerity about their ESG and decarbonization efforts.
