Sustainability: The Financial Tool CFOs Have Been Looking For – GIX Research Paper

Sustainability should be in every CFO’s financial toolbox.

• Building a sustainability company requires more than just promises. Implementing core sustainability values adds and preserves value by helping the company identify green business opportunities and climate-related risks that could derail growth.
• 2023 Accenture poll shows four in five CFOs (81%) said they feel pressure from at least three stakeholder groups to take serious action on sustainability issues. Survey participants pointed to regulators, investors, and board members as the greatest sources of pressure.
• Despite this, 2023 Bain research shows on average, fewer than 40% of companies across sectors are on track to meet their various sustainability commitments.
• Conclusion: Senior leaders who credibly focus on sustainability before their competition and accelerate their companies’ green transition will be running the winning companies of tomorrow.
