Survey: CEOs see sustainability as non-financial metric
No wonder sustainability offers have weak authority
Corporate spending on energy, environment and sustainability management in 2013 will grow by less than 10 percent, according to a Verdantix survey.
The “Global Sustainability Leaders Survey: Budgets and Priorities” report, which is based on interviews with 250 sustainability decision-makers at firms with revenues over $250 million, across 13 countries and 21 industries, found that 46 percent of respondents expect their spending to increase by up to 10 percent next year, while 39 percent face flat budgets.
