Time to take the lead: Focusing CFO efforts on the journey to a sustainable future

The transition to a net zero, sustainable economy has begun and will impact every organisation. CFOs are well-positioned to take a leadership role in driving this transition within their organisations, as custodians of strategy, risk management, performance and value creation.

In light of this, Deloitte, the Sustainable Business Council and Toitū Tahua: Centre for Sustainable Finance undertook a ‘snapshot survey’ of New Zealand CFOs to understand their perspectives on their role, their progress, barriers to action and more.

Check out our CFO Sustainability Snapshot Report to see our findings.

“It is imperative that CFOs are strong supporters of driving sustainability and ESG comprehensively within their organisations. Whether a strong believer or not, public sentiment and public policy is going to impact all industries now and into the future. CFOs have a responsibility to manage risk and to prepare their company for this advancing world.” – Survey Respondent
