2024 Trends in Corporate Reports

At the end of 2024, ESG has become a polarizing acronym. Although there have been an increasing number of anti-ESG shareholder resolutions and legislative proposals, support for them is declining. With rising activism and evolving requirements, the future is uncertain, but still 97% of the Fortune 200 produced a 2023 Sustainability/ESG report. In this dynamic environment we again did a deep dive, our 10th, into the world of reports. Our goal: help make sense of where we are today.

Although “reporting” is not a goal in and of itself, it is a crucial part of keeping companies accountable for the real work they are doing. In this whitepaper we look deeply at what the Fortune 200 produced in 2024 for the 2023 fiscal year (as of July 31, 2024). With ESG’s branding issues, and the continued lack of shared language the space has always been fraught. But, there was still engagement and commitment to progress overall.

This whitepaper looks at naming trends, report content, net-zero commitments, and more. We look at what companies are communicating and how, with the rise of multiple formats and approaches.
