A recent Workiva Inc. survey of 1,600 global leaders found that 85% of executives intend to proceed with climate disclosures, irrespective of the outcomes of the 2024 elections or political developments in their respective countries. This commitment is driven by the perceived financial value of assured integrated reporting.

The survey highlighted that 97% of all executives agree that integrated financial and ESG data helps them identify performance gaps that can enhance financial growth opportunities. This indicates a strong business case for sustainability reporting that transcends political landscapes.

While inflation and interest rates (38%) and legislation and policy changes (35%) were identified as factors most likely to impact business reporting over the next two years, the overall sentiment points to a sustained demand for transparency in reporting. This trend directly supports Workiva's core offerings in ESG and integrated reporting solutions.
