Climate change is an undeniable force that continues to reshape the global economic landscape. Increasingly, both physical and transition risks pose a distinct challenge for companies in managing their overall financial risk and protecting the bottom line. Read the latest S&P Global Sustainable1 study https://okt.to/oQbTXR Since 1999, thousands of companies have participated in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) annually to measure their sustainability performance, identify opportunities for improvement and benchmark against their industry peers to maintain a strategic competitive advantage. With its rigorous methodology, the CSA not only addresses key material topics specific to each of the 62 industries it covers, but also it goes beyond the present with a forward-looking approach – helping businesses better prepare for future climate-related events.

In the modern-day business world, the impact of climate change has become an unrelenting force. Increasingly, physical and transition risks continue to challenge a company’s ability to effectively manage its overall financial risk and protect the bottom line (see new S&P Global Sustainable1 study). Since 1999, the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) has helped thousands of companies around the world better understand their strengths and weaknesses as it relates to their sustainability practices and performance. However, it doesn’t just stop there. The CSA is also forward-looking in that it can help organizations prepare for future climate-related events. Questions that focus on climate strategy can be useful in ensuring a company’s sustainability reporting complies with both mandatory (e.g., CDP, TCFD, etc.) and voluntary disclosure frameworks.

An analysis of 2,731 companies assessed in the 2023 CSA shows that voluntary turnover has increased in all sectors over the past four years. Our analysis shows that few companies seek to learn about their workers’ wellbeing by focusing their employee surveys on elements of mental health, such as happiness or stress levels. However, the companies that do so appear to have lower turnover and higher average results on these surveys, suggesting that a greater emphasis on wellbeing has tangible benefits. https://okt.to/gsjGcA How does your company measure up?
