Perception gap between investors and CEOs on climate-change threat and energy transition exposure In a world increasingly dedicated to mitigating its environmental footprint, businesses are actively striving for greater sustainability. Building a better business for a net-zero world often requires tough trade-offs. Investors see the benefits of action but are unwilling to accept lower returns. Customers push companies to change but don't want to give up convenience and low prices. By several measures, investors are more concerned than CEOS that climate change will have meaningful implications for businesses. Those concerns prompt business leaders to not only act on climate, but to present a credible rationale for their decisions. By linking climate action with value creation, CEOs can provide the leadership that the capital markets are seeking.
