99% of US public companies are starting to prepare for sustainability disclosure requirements, and 74% are planning to invest in sustainability tools and technology in the next year.

Deloitte commissioned an online survey in January 2024 of 300 executives at publicly owned companies with a minimum

annual revenue requirement of $500 million or more. This sample size is consistent with our March and December 2022

reports. In 2024, additionally, surveys were conducted to increase the total sample size to 250 in each of the following

industries: consumer products; financial services; life sciences and health care; oil and gas; and technology, media, and

telecommunications. Each industry surveyed a mix of public and private companies, with a minimum of at least 100 publicly

owned companies. Executives are defined as senior finance, accounting, sustainability, and legal executives with a minimum

seniority of director, chief risk officers, general counsels, chief legal officers, or chief sustainability officers. Percentages

throughout the survey may not sum to 100% due to rounding

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
