Corporate sustainability is on the rise, with over 98% of S&P 500 companies publishing sustainability reports in 2022 and more than 8,000 entities pledging net zero emissions by 2050. A TravelPerk study reveals that 69% of employees want their companies to invest in sustainability. However, challenges like greenwashing, data fragmentation, and poor data quality hinder true sustainability performance and accountability. Despite the progress, there's a need for better transparency and measurable links between sustainability efforts and business outcomes.
