Global business leaders accelerate sustainability investments: Capgemini report

Over half of the global business leaders plan to increase investments in sustainability this year, notes a report from Capgemini (French multinational IT services and consulting company). Sustainability investments are expected to rise at 52% of organizations in 2024. Last year, the number was at 33%. 

Capgemini notes that economic incentives drive sustainability investments, with 57% of the global business leaders planning to boost their cleantech investments in the US over the next 2–3 years, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). A similar percentage intends to increase investments in the EU, driven by the EU Green Deal Industrial Plan.
