Investment in renewable energy and sustainability is depicted as a barrier to uncertainty and global challenges for business.
Last week at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Sanda Ojiambo, Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the United Nations Global Compact and Peter Lacy, Chief Responsibility Officer and Global Sustainability Services Leader at Accenture, presented the latest CEO Study.
This study includes a survey made to 2,600 professionals from 128 countries and 18 sectors, who highlight the importance of sustainability in their decisions. These numbers make this analysis the largest global study to include the opinion of executive professionals.
In the study, CEOs say they see comprehensive sustainability as the basis for protecting ourselves against instability. Putting green and circular strategies and business models at the forefront of our decisions is not only a climate imperative, but also the basis for business security, growth, and resilience.

This report explores the myriad of challenges facing business leaders today and the opportunity surrounding sustainability as a way forward, all through an immediate urgency lense.
In the words of Peter Lacy, “Failing to meet the SDGs is a real concern. It is also a great opportunity for companies that reinvent their businesses and harness sustainability as one of the key forces of change in the next decade, using technology and innovation to drive growth.”
“In a world categorised by conflict, energy shortages, rising inflation and the threat of recession, the survey shows that CEOs do not believe the world is as resilient to shocks as we had hoped. Businesses continue to be affected by multiple causes across a wide range of issues. In the face of runaway climate change or rising social and economic inequalities, business is not achieving the ambition and pace needed to reach the SDGs by 2030,”says Sanda Ojiambo, CEO of the UN Global Compact and UN Under-Secretary General.
Key aspects of the study:
🌿 La inestabilidad geopolítica ha hecho retroceder los esfuerzos en desarrollo sostenible.
🌿 El cambio climático y la inflación son dos de los desafíos globales que más repercuten en la buena marcha de las empresas.
🌿 En la última década la concienciación sobre la actuación empresarial en la sostenibilidad ha aumentado un 15%.
🌿 Una de las medidas principales que piensan llevar a cabo es invertir en energías renovables para reducir la dependencia de combustibles fósiles.
CEOs are prioritising sustainable actions to build resilience.
Building resilience through sustainable development.
In their interviews, the study highlights that CEOs identify key issues to build resilience in their companies. From setting science-based climate targets, to partnering with other industries to find technological solutions and promote greater biodiversity, to investing in renewable energy as a major element in decarbonising the economy.
