ESG and AI: 61% of people believe bots will succeed where humans have failed with corporate sustainability

People around the world are demanding more progress on environment, social, and governance (ESG) efforts and are looking to businesses to spark change, according to a new study, “No Planet B: How Can Businesses and Technology Help Save the World?” After surveying more than 11,000 consumers and business leaders across 15 countries, the study found that people are frustrated with the lack of progress society is making toward sustainability goals. They want businesses to step up and redefine what best looks like when it comes to ESG—and they believe that technology can make more of an impact than human efforts alone.
