The Next Steps for Sustainable Business: 2024 Annual Trends Report

This 2024 trends report from the ERM Sustainability Institute unpacks key sustainability trends and corporate responses across ten categories, including ESG backlash from governments and the evolving geopolitical landscape. Based on extensive research and interviews with subject matter experts, the report is significantly informed by the global shift toward mandatory sustainability disclosures; the breakthrough of nature-related reporting and the launch of the final framework of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures; and the strong (and growing) commitment of investors and companies to sustainability. This resource is a good primer for sustainability change agents, and pages 4-8 provide a comprehensive summary that will benefit leaders in particular.
