A quarter of companies worldwide across industries have managed to reduce their carbon footprint and make meaningful financial gains that benefit them and their employees, shareholders and stakeholders, the fourth edition of the 'Carbon Emissions' report published by management consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and AI sustainability software company CO2 AI states. About 25% of the 1 864 companies surveyed are realising financial net benefits of 7% or more of their yearly revenues from reducing emissions in line with their ambitions. This is an average of $200-million a year in financial benefits per company that are being realised, says BCG X MD and partner and Climate and Sustainability data and digital solutions leader Diana Dimitrova.
