The collective consciousness is dominated by these rising environmental threats and their carried costs, along with a heightened focus on social responsibility and reputational impact. In this transformative moment for the global financial sector, financial services (FS) executives, boards of directors, and stakeholders need to reevaluate the industry’s role as an economic pillar and steward of a sustainable future.Industry leaders are increasingly recognizing the fundamental link between sustainability and business success, and are considering sustainability adoption at scale as just as crucial as digital transformation.However, turning this into a reality is challenging. Although our sustainability transformation trends survey indicates that the majority of leaders agree that the benefits of sustainability outweigh the costs, many struggle to act on this. While there exists a noticeable gap between intentions and actions, an increasing number of firms are acknowledging the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments. To cite one acute challenge, FS companies drastically struggle to access, collect, trace, and trust emissions data due to lack of automation.Financial institutions are facing more intensive review of their sustainability practices. Regulatory pressures are increasing through the creation of new frameworks such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the SEC’s Climate Related Disclosure in the United States. This underscores the urgent need for comprehensive ESG strategies and effective reporting mechanisms as financial institutions of all sizes and geographical footprint will soon need to meet new reporting requirements.Our point of view explores the intricate interplay between sustainability, technology, and regulatory compliance in the financial services sector as the industry defines its role in shaping a sustainable global economy. Financial institutions can position themselves as leaders in the sustainable finance revolution by understanding the landscape, challenges, and opportunities involved.3Executive summaryA compelling business caseClimate change impact is driving both regulation and an opportunity for new value creation.
