Survey: From strategy to spend - the state of sustainability in business

Global Sustainability Services Survey 2025

In a year marked by regulatory rollbacks and political pressures, businesses face an increasingly uncertain sustainability landscape. At the same time, climate-related losses have surpassed $100 billion, underscoring the urgency for action.

Global's inaugural Global Sustainability Services Survey reveals that sustainability remains a strategic priority for companies worldwide:

  • 87% of respondents say sustainability is important to their business strategy
  • 83% report a competitive advantage from an embedded sustainability programme
  • Yet only 25% of respondents report having a mature sustainability programme, indicating there is still work to be done for sustainability to become ‘business as usual’

The report explores:

  • Regional dynamics – from CSRD uncertainty in Europe to capital constraints in AsiaPac
  • Strategic insights – why companies continue to invest despite challenges

As a global professional services organisation, BDO Global is committed to helping clients lead confidently in a complex and shifting environment.
