Businesses are increasingly recognizing the imperative to improve environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) performance. ESG products and services are still relatively immature within commercial banking, but FIs that are early adopters and prepare to meet accelerating demand will have a significant advantage as the ESG market within financial services matures.

This report assesses current perceptions of ESG among businesses to provide financial institutions insight into a rapidly emerging market. It is based on a Datos Insights online survey of 1,037 midsize and large organizations conducted in Q3 2023. The organizations are distributed across Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, India, Singapore, the U.S., and the U.K.
