Sustainability has become a priority for over half of the interviewed companies, increasingly integrating into the way they conduct business. Overall, companies focus more on environmental issues (dimension E), followed by social (dimension S) and governance (dimension G) issues. Large companies are more active in all three dimensions, with particular emphasis on emission reduction (dimension E), social issues, and governance.
