What are the main challenges faced by companies trying to implement a more sustainable business model? 🌱 A recent survey by BDO Belgium and Mercuri Urval shows that the key obstacles are: 👉 Costs and lack of resources 👉 Complex supply chains 👉 Cultural and behavioural barriers 👉 Lack of awareness and understanding These challenges can be overcome by: prioritising, engaging your value chain, breaking cultural barriers and upskilling! 📢 “By adopting a double materiality approach, companies can better understand the #ESG risks and opportunities relevant for them and develop strategies with long-term added value” says Carmen Auer & Viola Moeller from BDO Germany. 📢 "In the long run, sustainability measures often decrease costs and increase companies’ top line instead of the other way around. #Sustainability helps companies in seizing new business opportunities” says Niels Dijkman from BDO Nederland.

EY Ireland has launched its latest EY State of Sustainability Report 2024 today and the results are fascinating. The survey of Irish businesses reveals 81% of respondents reported a heightened focus on sustainability in the past year, a 19% increase from 2022. Meanwhile, concern about greenwashing has nearly tripled since the last report in 2022, with 35% now saying it affects their communication strategies, up from 13% in 2022. What are the key motivations for driving sustainability in Irish businesses? Increased stakeholder interest, regulations, and perceived bottom-line benefits.

The #OECD_bizfin Global Sustainability Report 2024, confirms worker experience with failed corporate disclosures by multinational enterprises: - Voluntary reporting is not effective, what little reporting is happening is only on climate while social is still not happening. - Corporate reporting is neither consistent nor reliable, there is a 20% gap between disclosures (86% market capitalisation) and externally verified disclosures (66% of market capitalisation). - Half of the GHG reduction targets set by companies go beyond 2030 target set by the Paris agreement. - Social is not happening even post-covid. - Employee representation on boards of directors is just 14% of global market cap, meaning 86% of the listed equities market lack a worker perspective on social issues. - 81% of shareholders report having policies on shareholder engagement yet only 70% report practices for stakeholder engagement. What all this means to me is we need the Global Sustainability Report to create greater urgency for effective corporate approaches on climate and social issues. OECD member countries should be setting a higher standard with their state owned enterprises, especially on social disclosures and practices. This starts with accepting the need for verifications and trade unions as the only credible source for verifying social disclosures.

We are thrilled to publish today the first edition of the OECD Global Corporate Sustainability Report. It is the result of almost 3 years of work, starting with our research on #climatechange and #corporategovernance, passing through the agreement on the new chapter on #sustainability in the revised #g20 #oecd Principles of Corporate Governance, and now closing the circle with this massive analytical work on #capitalmarket practices. This has been possible only because of the support and guidance from Carmine Di Noia and Serdar Çelik, and the hard work of my brilliant colleagues Adriana De La Cruz, Valentina Cociancich and several others. I also want to thank the OECD Corporate Governance Committee immensely. If our research has the practical relevance we strive for it to have, it is because the members of our Committee, including Rodrigo Buenaventura, Vassiliki Lazarakou, Ronnie Talmore, Offir Eyal, João Pedro Nascimento and all others, help us to focus on what is really meaningful for #policymaking and #regulation.
