Regenerate: an Asia Pacific study on sustainability and beyond
Kearney’s latest research assesses the region’s progress and explores the trajectory of sustainability initiatives, shedding light on corporate ambitions, execution, and impact as APAC companies advance from sustainable to regenerative businesses.
Asia’s transition to net zero emissions is inherently complex. A global powerhouse for economic growth, this dynamic region has made significant progress. However, climate change is creating an existential threat amid high exposure to extreme weather events such as flooding, heatwaves, and droughts, which could disrupt decades of progress.
Amid these challenges, there’s an urgent need for Asia Pacific (APAC) to transition toward development that is not only carbon-neutral but also climate-resilient. Adopting pathways to reduce the region’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is a large part of this shift. Additionally, embracing an approach that prioritizes generating net-positive impacts on the environment and society can ensure that the region’s growth remains robust in the face of climate change. This will require moving beyond conventional sustainability and embracing sustainable development that is regenerative, actively restoring and unifying entire ecosystems—the people, the digital technology, and the operational building blocks to move forward for the benefit of everyone.
Encouragingly, many companies across the region have embraced this bold, systems-level thinking: more than 40 percent of the executives we surveyed say their companies are already taking a regenerative approach toward sustainability. And of these, almost 70 percent say it is an organization’s responsibility to go beyond reducing and preventing negative impacts on our planet and society to generating net-positive outcomes for future generations. With this mindset, the region is well-positioned to tackle the challenges related to climate change.
We hope this report provides useful insights that encourage business leaders across Asia Pacific to enhance their sustainability ambitions, optimism, and momentum and accelerate the shift toward
a future that works for everyone.
科尔尼的最新研究评估了该地区的进展,并探讨了可持续发展计划的轨迹,阐明了 APAC 公司从可持续发展企业向再生型企业转变过程中的企业愿望、执行和影响。
亚洲向净零排放的过渡本质上是复杂的。作为经济增长的全球引擎,这个充满活力的地区取得了重大进展。然而,气候变化在洪水、热浪和干旱等极端天气事件的高风险下造成生死存亡的威胁,可能破坏数十年的进步。
在这些挑战中,亚太地区迫切需要向不仅是碳中和,而且具有气候恢复力的发展过渡。采取途径以减少该地区对化石燃料的严重依赖并减轻温室气体排放是这一转变的重要组成部分。此外,采用优先产生对环境和社会产生净积极影响的方法可以确保该地区的增长在气候变化面前保持强劲。这需要超越传统的可持续性,并采用再生型可持续发展,积极恢复和统一整个生态系统——人民、数字技术和运营构建模块,以造福所有人。
令人鼓舞的是,该地区许多公司都接受了这种大胆的系统级思维方式:我们调查的 40% 以上的高管表示,他们的公司已经开始采取再生方法来实现可持续发展。在这些人中,近 70% 的人表示,一个组织的责任不仅在于减少和防止对我们星球和社会的负面影响,还在于为后代产生净积极成果。带着这种心态,该地区完全有能力应对与气候变化相关的挑战。
我们希望这份报告提供有用的见解,鼓励亚太地区的商界领袖增强他们的可持续发展愿望、乐观情绪和动力,并加速向对每个人都有益的未来转变。
