Sustainability considerations have become key for institutional investors, but fewer and fewer companies are able to meet their expectations, according to EY’s global research. According to an international survey of nearly 300 senior executives, decision-makers also find out from company reports whether the selected organization is adequately addressing climate risks.

The steps taken by companies in the areas of social responsibility, environmentally conscious management and sustainable development play a key role in the decisions of institutional investors, according to an EY study. Meanwhile, as the demand for reliable non-financial data grows, the gap between market participants and investors will widen: the number of those who do not report environmental risks in their accounts has increased by 14 percentage points in two years.
