As businesses in the region shift their focus towards sustainability, there has been a notable rise in commitments to net-zero targets. The latest survey shows that 76% of companies have either made or are actively working towards a net-zero commitment in 2024, up from 66% in 2023 and 60% in 2022. This upward trend indicates that companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of reducing carbon emissions and making sustainability a core part of their operations.
The operational changes also extend to leadership roles, as companies are integrating sustainability into their organizational structures. A growing number of businesses are appointing top-level positions such as Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) or directors dedicated to sustainability. Almost half of the survey respondents either have or plan to appoint a CSO within the next year, signaling the growing prominence of sustainability in corporate decision-making.
