Reuters Events’ Responsible Business Trends 2021 report provides unique insights into current trends, investments and foci of sustainable business professionals from across the globe
The sixth iteration of Reuters Events’ Responsible Business Trends report features insight and feedback from 804 senior practitioners from across the globe. It builds on previous editions to showcase how sustainability strategy is being adopted, how companies are transitioning to a net-zero ambition, the level to which action is being taken on the SDGs, plus potential key opportunities and investments in the coming 12-18 months.
Throughout the report there are comparisons made against our past three annual reports dating back to 2015. Exclusively driven by primary data from the Ethical Corporation global community, the report can serve as a benchmark for organisations to understand how sustainable and responsible business is evolving and being operationalised around the globe.
