From www.esgtoday.com: (US context) Over 75% of CFOs expect to maintain or increase sustainability investments despite a recent U.S. election that may challenge ESG initiatives, as reported in a BDO survey of 500 CFOs.

The survey highlights a shift in focus towards operational improvements and stakeholder expectations, with only a modest percentage planning to concentrate on environmental initiatives.

CFOs also perceive significant benefits from existing sustainability efforts, including increased innovation and revenue, while noting that many companies are still in the early stages of integrating sustainability into their business strategies.
