CFOs Taking Greater Role in Sustainability At Companies, Deloitte Survey Finds

摘要

The percentage of chief financial officers and chief operating officers accountable to their company's boards for sustainability issues nearly doubled in the past year, from 20 percent to 36 percent, according to a survey by the auditing and consulting company De-loitte. The primary authority for sustainability within companies is moving away from chief executive officers and corporate heads of sustainability and shifting to CFOs and COOs, who have operating authority and substantive budgets, according to a report on the survey titled Sustainability: CFOs Come to the Table.
