Throughout 2023, we have reported on the sustainability initiatives of global businesses, who are more climate-conscious than ever, prioritizing emerging technologies in the pursuit of increased sustainability, yet measuring progress towards achieving the meaningful change of many Environmental Sustainability (ES) initiatives presents a challenge. Yet another look into this very challenge is addressed in the latest report from The Futurum Group in partnership with Honeywell, with the development of the Honeywell Environmental Sustainability Index.
Our team here at The Futurum Group, in partnership with Honeywell, have embarked upon a research study and developed a comprehensive index designed to measure sentiment around the pace and adoption of climate technologies within organizations. The fifth edition of the Honeywell Environmental Sustainability Index offers a quarter-over-quarter data-centric perspective of sentiment and progress on the prior and current state of environmental sustainability (ES) initiatives along with expectations for the years ahead.
Our research findings are based on a survey of now over 750 global business leaders, across a wide range of industries, directly involved in their organizations’ ES initiatives. Their feedback offers key insights into the current state of corporate climate tech, as well as its potential for impacting meaningful change on a global scale. For the first time, this report also includes response data to questions on the likely impact of weather-related events on sustainability investment levels moving forward.
In this report you’ll learn:
- The overall sentiment leaders have about the prior year and future climate goals in the coming years
- Budget trends and investment allocation across organizations to achieve their ES goals
- A continuing overview of the top business and sustainability priorities for the coming year, with key breakdowns across global regions
- How organizations are approaching their ES goals, including their reporting needs
- A snapshot of Circularity and Recycling goals for the coming year
- The likely impact of weather-related events on sustainability investment levels moving forward
Environmental sustainability efforts will continue to take center stage in coming years. This index, past and future versions, will be key to track sentiment, adoption, and the intent of companies in reducing their impact on the climate. Whether you are looking to take your company’s climate initiatives to the next level or want to be sure that you are consistent with others in your industry, this index will provide invaluable guidance on all things climate tech.
