Below is an excerpt from ISS-Corporate’s recently released article “Global Sustainability Pulse: Key Trends in Corporate Strategy and Disclosure”. The full article is available on ISS-Corporate’s resources page.
Between August 25 and September 19, ISS-Corporate conducted a global survey of corporate issuers to assess evolving priorities in corporate sustainability. The survey sought to capture corporate perspectives on the development of sustainability strategies, reporting practices, and key focus areas in response to market and regulatory shifts over the past year. It also explored expectations for how these priorities may continue to evolve in the years ahead.
A total of 220 respondents participated, representing companies of various sizes across all major regions and sectors. Of these, 93 were based in the Americas, 65 in Asia Pacific, and 62 in EMEA.
The findings reveal dynamic shifts in the sustainability landscape, shaped by regulatory developments and broader market trends. They also highlight notable regional differences in how companies are approaching sustainability today – and how they anticipate doing so in the future.
