Sustainability is increasingly important for investors, as evidence mounts that companies’ environmental, social, and governance performance has an impact on long-term financial success.

BCG’s seventh sustainability report in collaboration with MIT Sloan Management Review found that 75% of senior executives in investment firms see a company’s sustainability performance as materially important to their investment decisions—and nearly half would not invest in a company with a poor sustainability track record. However, only 60% of managers in publicly traded companies believe that good sustainability practices influence investment decisions.

The report, Investing for a Sustainable Future: Investors Care More About Sustainability Than Many Executives Believe, is based on a survey of more than 3,000 executives and managers from more than 100 countries.
