TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2023 /CNW/ - According to the second annual BMO Climate Institute Business Leaders Survey, the business impact of climate change is driving more business leaders to think about mitigation plans, especially in the United States. Based on a survey of 700 business leaders in the U.S. and Canada, the 2023 results reveal why companies are increasingly taking action, how they are thinking about climate risk, and the challenges and opportunities they face in their transition to net-zero.
"Inspired by our Purpose, to Boldly Grow the Good in business and life, BMO's Climate Ambition is to be our clients' lead partner in the transition to a net zero world," said Melissa Fifield, Head, BMO Climate Institute. "As we make progress toward this goal, the BMO Climate Institute Business Leaders Survey helps us understand how businesses view climate change. Nearly half are already experiencing an impact on their businesses and many more expect to feel the effects in under five years. Insights from this research help us advance the conversation around the challenges and opportunities of energy transition and respond to our clients' growing needs in this space."
Though other business priorities continue to take precedence, many surveyed are already feeling the effects of climate change and are thinking about actions they can take
Even though, as in 2022, concerns like inflation and interest rates (89 percent), labour shortages (76 per cent), and supply chain bottlenecks (75 per cent) continue to weigh heavily, business leaders are increasingly paying attention to climate change:
-
Nearly half (48 per cent) of business leaders surveyed believe climate change is already affecting their businesses and even more (81 per cent) anticipate it will affect their businesses in the next 5 years.
-
32 per cent of businesses have a plan in place to address it – up 6 per cent from last year – and 35 per cent are in the process of developing one.
-
U.S. business leaders (38 per cent) are more likely to be moving forward with plans (up 10 per cent), compared to Canada where only 27 per cent have a plan in place (up 3 per cent).
Though business leaders are slightly less confident in their ability to make a difference to greenhouse gas emissions, the survey identified actions believed to have the most impact:
-
76 per cent of Canadian and U.S. businesses chose the use of renewable, compostable and recyclable resources.
-
61 per cent chose tracking and managing supply chain emissions and cutting back on travel.
-
Over half (53 per cent) chose the purchase of carbon credits, up 6 per cent from 2022, and an 8 per cent increase in Canada alone.
In addition to government and industry climate policies, business leaders are increasingly looking to financial institutions for solutions
Many business leaders think governments and industries could provide more realistic policies to help. Industry policies continue to be perceived as more lenient by all businesses, especially in Canada where only 44 per cent of businesses find them ambitious (10 per cent too ambitious, 34 per cent ambitious but achievable).
In the U.S.:
-
39 per cent believe the climate change policies set by government are too ambitious to be achieved (up 18 per cent from last year), 34 per cent believe they are ambitious but achievable and 24 per cent believe they are lenient.
-
25 per cent are more likely to say they are being strongly supported by the government to establish and pursue a plan in a way that allows them to make realistic climate goals, up 6 per cent from last year.
In Canada:
-
45 per cent are more likely to find government policies achievable – similar to last year's findings – and only 3 per cent of leaders thought their government's policies are just right.
-
10 percent said they feel strongly supported to establish and pursue a realistic climate plan.
The majority (68 per cent) of businesses leaders continue to believe that financial institutions could play a role in helping companies become more climate friendly. 22 per cent (28 per cent in the U.S. and 15 per cent in Canada) say they are already playing this role, with 46 per cent saying there is more they need to do. Among the products and services available from financial institutions:
-
77 per cent of leaders are interested in the ability to generate insights on how business can adapt and thrive in an evolving climate landscape.
-
77 per cent are interested in financial premiums for meeting climate-related targets, including discounted loans, and higher deposit rates.
-
76 per cent value more analysis on how climate change will affect their business.
-
75 per cent are interested in a tailored suite of green advisory, investment and lending products and services to support climate-related investments.
-
74 percent (78 per cent of Canadians and 70 per cent of Americans) are looking for an easier way to track greenhouse gas emissions.
-
67 per cent (70 per cent of Canadians and 65 per cent of Americans) are looking for help with carbon offsets and trading carbon credits globally.
"The results of the survey reveal that 61 per cent of leaders with a plan are doing it because they think it's good for their business, while those without a plan are looking for advice and support in mitigating the impacts of climate change on their businesses," said Michael Torrance, Chief Sustainability Officer, BMO. "Business leaders are telling us they value products, services and incentives that will help them reduce their footprint, as well as insights to help them adapt and thrive in the evolving landscape. As our clients' lead partner in the transition to a net-zero world, BMO can meet these needs, helping them to make progress by contributing to their understanding of climate risks, advising them on their climate plans, and discussing their financial options."
BMO offers a range of products and services to help business clients with the transition to net-zero, including:
