Description

Strategic Intelligence: ESG Executive Briefing (Second Edition)

Summary

Sustainability used to be just about saving the planet. Today, it has morphed into an umbrella term for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.

Adopting a holistic approach that encompasses all environmental, social, and governance issues can help company leaders ensure all aspects of sustainability are covered in their ESG strategy. In 2025, there is pressure on companies to be more transparent about their ESG credentials. GlobalData’s ESG research is designed to help companies build trust with society at large and set them on a path toward a sustainable future.

Key Highlights
  • Big Tech’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions decelerated in 2024, but GlobalData expects this slowdown to be temporary. Carbon offset purchases are ramping up, and 2030 net-zero targets are just about still achievable. There is a rising risk that data centers will run out of water, raising water costs and disrupting operations. Big Tech procurement practices will likely put greater pressure on suppliers to cut emissions by 2030.
  • The EU has scaled back several key ESG-related regulations, reducing compliance costs for companies operating in the EU. Both the UK and EU are moving to allow heavy emitters to use carbon removal projects (e.g., reforestation or direct air capture) as an alternative to purchasing permits to emit through regional emissions trading schemes.
Scope
  • GlobalData’s ESG executive briefing provides quarterly analysis of the ESG trends impacting the corporate world.
Reasons to Buy
  • This report will help you understand the business impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) themes.
  • It includes analysis of the latest developments in ESG regulations and standards and corporate ESG strategies.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
