Background
The value of ESG investments has almost doubled over four years, to $40.5 trillion in 2020. Sustainability has become a strategic priority for a number of companies, both from a risk and opportunity perspective, fueled by global finance and investor expectations worldwide.
Indications are that sustainability investments do not come at a cost but may lead to superior returns, and 97% of investors now say they take non-financial information into consideration when making their investment decisions - an increase of almost 50% in just 3 years. Stakeholders such as owners, customers, existing and prospective employees, suppliers and the government are demanding that companies have a clear sustainability agenda.
Implications for the CFO
The increased sustainability and ESG focus prompts the CFO to have better overview and control over risks and opportunities in the sustainability domain. The CFO needs to have strategic and functional knowledge of what sustainable business means to their company and industry, and can be a key resource in driving change.
Will the role as CFO move towards becoming more of a Chief Value Officer? Can sustainability investments generate additional growth and ROI? How can this be achieved, what to expect and which critical questions to ask?
