Sustainability is no longer a question of awareness or ambition. For many organisations, the challenge now is turning sustainability commitments into measurable business outcomes.
Drawing on insights from 251 sustainability professionals and C-suite leaders across 41 countries, BDO's Sustainability Survey 2026 explores how organisations are progressing on their sustainability journeys, the priorities shaping decision-making, and the barriers preventing faster progress. The findings reveal growing maturity in governance, stakeholder engagement and organisational structures, but also highlight persistent gaps in leadership, strategy execution and impact measurement.
The report uncovers regional trends, examines the role of AI in addressing sustainability challenges, and provides practical guidance to help organisations move from foundational sustainability activity to a more integrated, measurable and strategically managed approach. Whether you are refining an established programme or building momentum in the early stages of your journey, the insights offer a valuable benchmark for advancing sustainability performance and creating long-term value.
