Global: extent companies expect to reduce impacts over ESG issues 2023

As of 2023, analysts found that across all regions and countries firms felt they would contribute most to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) by reducing their negative impact on waste created. The second most popular issue with which firms felt that they would reduce their impact was water consumption. Arguably firms have a higher level of control over their direct impact on these two issues in comparison to the remaining issues. That may be the reason for the high percentage of firms' expectations to reduce negative effects.
