Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Advisory Services Market Expansion Drivers: What’s Shaping Future Growth?
The heightened understanding of climate-related risks among corporations is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) advisory services market moving forward. This corporate climate-risk awareness signifies organizations’ increasing acknowledgment of financial, operational, and reputational threats originating from climate change, including extreme weather occurrences, regulatory modifications, and transition risks associated with decarbonization. This awareness is growing due to more rigorous global climate disclosure regulations, as governments and regulatory bodies now require companies to pinpoint, quantify, and disclose climate-related risks, such as greenhouse gas emissions, physical climate impacts, and transition risks. Such awareness among corporates boosts ESG advisory services by elevating the demand for climate risk assessments, support for regulatory compliance, sustainability reporting, and the creation of climate strategies. For instance, in December 2023, the Carbon Disclosure Project, a UK-based international not-for-profit organization, reported that over 23,000 companies disclosed environmental data through its platform, a significant jump from approximately 18,700 companies in 2022. Hence, the increasing climate-risk awareness among corporates is fueling the growth of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) advisory services market.
