In parallel, sustainability has transcended its role as a mere compliance tool to become a critical driver of business value, innovation, and long-term competitiveness. We conducted a comprehensive survey of 1,000 executives in organizations with more than a billion dollars in revenue from 12 countries across 12 industries in March 2025. We found that sustainability continues to be top priority and organizations are doubling down on their investment commitments - 82% will increase their sustainability investments in 2025 and 98% will do so by 2026. The reasons are not hard to see: • Organizations are investing in sustainability initiatives because of the associated cost savings. Many have already realized savings from 8-20% across a range of areas including waste reduction, supply chain costs, and more. There is significant scope for further benefit as ~95% have realized only 26% of the overall cost savings potential.• Sales is the top driver of sustainability investments - 82% of organizations say that they invest in sustainability initiatives to boost sales.• Sustainability is known to reduce risks. Almost three in ten organizations state that insufficient sustainability action has led to regulatory challenges, and 44% have suffered reputational damage due to sustainability inaction.• Sustainability gives organizations a competitive edge: 69% say they owe their innovation acceleration pace to sustainability, while 54% say that they have lost market share to a competitor with more sustainable products.For more details on the research methodology, please refer appendix.Executive summarySustainability – A driver for business value creationSustainability remains a top priority attracting strong investmentsMaximizing the value of sustainability investmentsSustainability and Business Value |Research brief - Capgemini Research Institute 20255Sustainability – A driver for business value creation02Executive summarySustainability – A driver for business value
