There is similar hype around sustainability, albeit of a different flavor. Nature, society, and business are interconnected in complex ways that should be understood by decision-makers. The digitalization-sustainability convergence in business and society offers executives both opportunities and challenges, within the organization and across organizational boundaries.
Within, companies are using digital tools to map their environmental footprint and assess the impact of environmental shifts on their business. New digital technologies are improving sustainable innovation, even as they create new vulnerabilities like cybercrime and privacy loss.
Beyond the organization, the digitalization-sustainability convergence is producing a digital transformation in three areas that influence market conditions: Correspondingly, few companies make it a priority to communicate sustainability performance to investors. Fewer still develop a robust story about why their sustainability performance matters at all. This conventional wisdom about ESG, however, is increasingly out of step with the times.
A growing number of investors are not only paying attention to ESG performance, they are profiting from it. As evidence mounts that sustainability-related activities are material to the financial success of a company , investors increasingly care more about ESG performance than many executives believe. This is an increasingly important issue for corporate leaders since a wide range of investment organizations — from retail investors to asset managers to institutional investors — are making investment decisions using digital assessment tools that connect ESG performance with corporate performance.
Investors themselves are digitalizing sustainability portfolio management, joined by a diverse community of toolmakers, consulting groups, and multinational organizations.
Sustainability-oriented investment funds have proliferated, garnering assets worth trillions of dollars. The risks of digitalized sustainability investing for companies is real. As executives abdicate the responsibility to understand ESG performance and craft a credible investor narrative for why ESG is important, they leave an informational void in the marketplace.
Investors themselves are stepping into that void and crafting their own stories about corporate ESG performance, a story executives have little influence over. This is not just an issue for the C-suite, but also for boards of directors.
How should boards guide their companies over the long term, when major shareholders have different time horizons and use different sustainability metrics to assess financial performance? With investor interest in quantifying corporate ESG performance growing, what is or will be the response from corporate executives?
