According to a recent KPMG survey, over two-thirds of CEOs have maintained their climate-related strategies over the past year but have modified the language and terminology they use to communicate these efforts. Similar to the perceived 'DEI initiative' backlash, this is another sign of how business leaders are navigating the increasingly politicized environment surrounding ESG yet, thankfully, maintaining focus on these critical issues. #purpose #change #progress #ESG #leadership #inclusion

Most CEOs Sticking with Climate Strategies, but Changing How they Communicate it: KPMG Survey. More than two thirds of CEOs report that they remain committed to their climate strategies, but are adapting the language and terminology they use to communicate it, and while many are not confident that their companies will achieve their near-term climate goals, most anticipate significant returns from their sustainability efforts over the next five years, according to a new survey released by global professional services firm KPMG. For the report, KPMG’s 2024 CEO Outlook, KPMG surveyed 1,325 in markets across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific at large companies with revenues greater than $500 million.

Only 78 companies in the Climate Bystander group have reported emissions. but they are responsible for more than half of all reported emissions across the Fortune Global 500. 2. Only 23% have reported scope 3 reporting. 3. Those with a 2030 (or sooner target) reduced by 7% over the last reporting year.

How can we realise the $5 trillion climate opportunity? >> New data from CDP suggests governments can kickstart green growth by publishing more ‘investible’ climate plans (NDCs) at COP29. Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP: “This analysis shows there are trillions in opportunities across the global economy. Business now needs governments to lay out plans with sufficient detail for the market to act, realise these gains and kickstart green growth. With the focus of COP29 negotiations on finance, we believe the only route to success is seeing ambitious business practice and the 1.5C goal working hand in hand.” Yet, analysis also reveals slow corporate progress to align core business activities with climate goals: > Only 16% of companies generate the majority of their revenue from low-carbon products. > Average reported share of investment (CapEx) spent to deliver corporate climate transition plans stood at just 25%. > Companies are struggling to realise optimistic opportunity expectations by adapting their product and service portfolio. > Stronger NDCs and policy frameworks are needed to help mobilise financial capital. Failure to do so raises prospect of significant business risks. > Companies analysed identified over $1.3 trillion in climate-related risks – a 29% increase from 2018. > Regulation, market impacts and acute physical risks the top concerns. There is clearly much work to be done, beyond disclosure and reporting, to deliver the change we need to see. Although, there are clearly strong incentives and benefits for businesses that can invest effectively for low-carbon transformation. https://lnkd.in/eBydaVCt

We can’t wait on everybody else to fight #climatechange. Businesses are uniquely positioned to be a catalyst for change, and in fact, many have already made strong commitments: “A recent poll conducted by the We Mean Business Coalition (WMBC) found that nearly half of business leaders (47%) surveyed expect to phase out fossil fuels from their companies by 2040, and 70% by 2050.” Kavi bakes climate change action into all our strategy and structural work with organizations - because we know organizations can make a difference. #ESG #sustainability #organizationaldevelopment

But unless the right system is in place and there is an awareness that businesses can benefit from increased climate engagement and investment, this may not emerge. Therefore, for climate investment to reach the level required to make meaningful change, there needs to be a mobilisation of businesses.>> #business #benefits #mobilisation #climate #ESG #ChathamHouse #investments #change #
