To help guide European companies on this next evolution in governance, EY teams have conducted this second edition of its Long-Term Value and Corporate Governance Survey, building on inaugural EY research in November 2021 1. Respondents were split across 15 European countries and 25 industry segments. In fact, by deploying an ambitious long-term value approach that proactively addresses ESG factors, a company can out-pace its competitors, improve profitability and unlock new sources of value creation. For leading companies, it will be a route to innovation across products, services and even business models, allowing them to shape the future of their industry and stay a step ahead of disruption. The sustainability agenda is redefining the relationship between European companies and their employees and stakeholders – businesses should act now to ensure they stay ahead of this transformation.Īs well as providing a route to greater risk resilience in the face of increasing disruption, latest EY research shows that executives today believe that ESG is, above all, a major commercial and growth opportunity.
From the outside-in, we have reached the point where investors, employees, consumers and the wider public simply expect a company to be actively addressing ESG priorities and opportunities. From within the organization, executives are passionate about making a difference to the planet as well as building their companies’ resilience and long-term value. We are at a turning point in the sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda.
