The EY and WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development collaboration has designed a new value-chain approach to accelerate business emissions reduction. You can read the full report published today at the link in the comments section below. WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development member companies make a huge contribution to the global economy (~24% of the global annual corporate revenue) and also account for approximately a quarter of the annual #GHG emissions. These companies are taking action, but faster progress is needed. Our collaboration has identified a significant impact opportunity to reduce emissions and improve business performance by focusing on collective action opportunities in value chains by activating WBCSD's unique global member portfolio. As an outcome of our collaboration, the WBCSD’s Emissions Reduction Accelerator (#ERA) will be announced during #ClimateWeekNYC 2025 and launched at COP30 Brazil. #ERA will help member companies map, track and demonstrate acceleration in aggregate #GHG emissions reductions to 2030, begging with 2 pilot value chains - Build Environment and FLAG. I am truly excited about the #ERA potential for global impact! Thank you for the great work, Rob Bradley, Miranda Nayyar and Anna Johnson. It's time to pivot from commitments and individual efforts to collective action! Peter Bakker | Dominic Waughray | Denise Filip | Matthew Bell | Bruno Sarda | John Hodges | Brandon Perlberg, JD

Deloitte’s Private Company Outlook: Family Enterprise survey is out! 📣🙌 Lots of interesting insights on the strategic priorities for family businesses.   What caught my eye? 👀 While many leaders of family owned businesses think their organization is ready for succession, the next generation might not be as eager or ready.    Although nearly half of the 100 U.S. family business leaders surveyed feel prepared for leadership succession, many organizations face significant challenges. To prepare future leaders, family enterprises are focusing on formal education (52%), on-the-job training (48%), and mentorship (45%) to develop future-ready leaders.   But the challenge isn’t just about skills; it's about interest. The survey cited a lack of interest from the next generation (37%) – echoing Deloitte's Gen Z and Millennial Survey, which shows only 6% are primarily driven to reach senior leadership. Unclear selection criteria (31%) and leadership skill gaps (31%) further complicate matters, according to our Outlook.   As executives at privately owned companies look to secure the long-term stability and growth of their organizations, understanding succession dynamics is crucial. Dive into the full survey for more insights 👉https://lnkd.in/eQCBEDaq   Curious to hear from my network. How is your organization preparing the next generation?

Three new papers have been added to Deloitte Asia Pacific’s Mandatory Sustainability Reporting Series, emphasising the pressing need for organisations to prepare for sustainability disclosure requirements rapidly evolving across Asia Pacific. As these regulations take effect, organisations must focus on embedding sustainability reporting into their operating models, build solid sustainability data foundations and strengthen controls for assurance-ready reporting.​ Key insights from the reports include: ​ ·          More than 50% of CFO respondents reported they were already integrating sustainability considerations into their financial decision making however, they are only starting to build teams and processes for repeatable reporting​ ·          40% said they are working on incorporating sustainability into their operating model but only 6% reported it was already embedded​ CFOs can lead the charge by integrating sustainability into core business processes, clarifying roles, and building cross-functional teams for robust, repeatable reporting. Ready to future-proof your sustainability reporting?

PwC just released our Global Sustainability Reporting Survey. It highlights that while more companies are stepping up their sustainability disclosures, we have common challenges and opportunities: - Increased investor demand for transparent, credible sustainability reporting - Growing alignment with global standards like ISSB and TCFD - The critical need for enhanced data quality and assurance to build trust - Accelerating integration of sustainability into core business strategy to future-proof growth What strikes me most is from the chart below, relating to how companies leverage the ESG data they collect: when asked, "To what extent has your company leveraged the data and insights collected for (CSRD/ISSB) reporting to inform the following business decisions or strategies?" many respondents indicated that sustainability data is still largely confined to reporting teams, with limited uptake by wider business functions. This raises a critical question — how do we break down silos and drive broader use of sustainability insights across finance, operations, risk, and product development teams to maximize impact? This is afterall, a key intent of corporate sustainability — to help business leaders see and understand their dependencies, risks, and opportunities from sustainability-related factors, so they can develop & implement appropriate plans to increase business resilience and value. For Asia Pacific leaders, now is the time to: - Elevate sustainability reporting beyond compliance — make it a strategic advantage and create clear value-related KPIs for the investment in sustainability activities including in reporting - Invest in robust data management and (internal & external) assurance practices - Create cross-functional frameworks to embed sustainability data into everyday decisions - Engage stakeholders with clear, actionable sustainability narratives Explore the full report and discover actionable insights that can further your organisation’s sustainability journey: https://lnkd.in/gUfuUawQ Connect with our sustainability reporting leaders in Asia Pacific if you would like to discuss further. #Sustainability #ESG #Reporting #PwCAsiaPacific PwC Climate Eu-Lin Fang Hidetoshi Tahara Keiko Asano Amy Cai Kyoungsang Park (박경상) Yuliana Sudjonno Farhana Jabir Catherine Lipana-Gomez Kulthida Wiratkapan Nguyen Hoang Nam Caroline Mara Jonathan Skilton

CEOs are speaking less about sustainability—but they’re doing more. Rising costs, political polarization, and regulatory uncertainty have made it more complex for CEOs to address sustainability publicly. Yet those same pressures are pushing executives to act with greater urgency, embedding sustainability into cost, customer, and capital decisions. The future of business will be shaped by those who see sustainability not as a challenge, but as a source of advantage. We see it in the profitability of decarbonization levers that are already delivering returns. We see it in the powerful role AI can play in cutting waste and energy use—even as it reminds us of the responsibility to manage its impact. And we see it in the conviction of buyers and consumers, who continue to reward companies for operating sustainably. We cover all this and much more in the 2025 edition of The Visionary CEO’s Guide to Sustainability. Some of our research will surprise you. All of it highlights the power of pragmatic leadership.
