Uniting Technology and Sustainability

As businesses set ever more ambitious environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, their sustainability and technology strategies need to become more tightly aligned. In this report, Criticaleye Partner, Accenture, reports on how an effective sustainable technology strategy can help drive business growth and ESG performance.

Key takeaways include:

• Every organisation in Accenture’s sustainable tech survey of 560 companies with revenues above US$1 billion ranked technology as either “important” or “very important” for achieving their sustainability goals.
• Only 7 percent of companies have fully integrated their business, technology and sustainability strategies.
• 63 percent of CEOs say that the difficulty of measuring ESG data across their value chains is a barrier to sustainability in their industry.
