The results are in. ABB surveyed 350+ leaders from Australian business on their sustainability progress, and they delivered.

ABB’s latest report, ‘Progressing Sustainability in Australian Business’, identifies the Australian businesses who are leading the charge. These leaders stand out because they define sustainability in a holistic sense, and they have a plan, complete with clear metrics and targets . More importantly, 80% are leveraging technology to help them reach their sustainability goals.

But many companies are still facing challenges. 60% rank high upfront costs as a key roadblock to adopting sustainable practices. Crucial sustainability levers, like measuring recycling rate, or requiring sustainability audits of supplier, are still lacking.

Clearly, there’s still a lot of work to be done. What changes are most needed to accelerate progress? What can we learn from sustainability leaders? And, most importantly, ‘are you on track’?

83% of Australian businesses will increase investment in sustainability over the next three years
