The COVID-19 pandemic has brought an enhanced sense of social responsibility, with 51.9% of companies currently prioritising social over environmental issues.
However, increased social awareness is highly unlikely to cast a shadow over pre-COVID-19 environmental concerns such as climate change, as demonstrated by the June 2020 Sustainability survey results, with 60.8% of businesses expecting to balance social and environmental issues as the crisis evolves.
The outbreak has accelerated the purpose-driven movement, with half of surveyed businesses defining sustainability as being purpose-driven in June 2020.
As businesses are now embarking on a path for recovery, there is an opportunity to build back better, with more corporate investments planned across all sustainability related areas, with the development of sustainable products and sustainable sourcing being the two areas benefiting the most.
