Deloitte Global’s 2025 C-suite Sustainability Report suggests that corporate sustainability is sharing the front row with technology adoption and artificial intelligence, not just holding steady in a crowded field of business priorities.

It is the clearest sign yet that Brussels is reassessing the administrative load of its sustainability agenda and looking for ways to bring consistency across a landscape that has grown unwieldy.
