    Global Sustainability Pulse: Regional Shifts and Strategic Priorities

    Between August 25 and September 19, 2025, ISS-Corporate conducted a global survey of corporate issuers to assess evolving priorities in corporate sustainability. The survey sought to capture corporate perspectives on the development of sustainability strategies, reporting practices, and key focus areas in response to market and regulatory shifts over the past year, as well as how these priorities may continue to evolve in the years ahead.

    With 220 total respondents spread across the Americas, Asia Pacific, and EMEA, the findings reveal dynamic shifts in the sustainability landscape, shaped by regulatory developments and broader market trends. They also highlight notable regional differences in how companies are approaching sustainability today—and how they anticipate doing so in the future.
