What are the common drivers, challenges and opportunities facing corporate sustainability, now and in the future? What climate legislation and regulations are coming down the tracks? And how can sustainability and net-zero be utilised as a competitive advantage?

edie's new Sustainable Business Tracker & Sector Insight report series will answer all of these key questions and more – cutting through the complexity and giving member organisations the information they need to make more informed sustainability decisions.

Developed exclusively for edie Members, these quarterly reports are based on an in-depth survey* of business leaders, sustainability and net-zero professionals. Each report in the series will include a sector-based supplement – a dedicated section which focused on the nuanced drivers, challenges and opportunities facing a particular sector. The sector-based focus of this report in the series is manufacturing.

This report has been launched to coincide with edie’s Business Leadership Month and the flagship edie 24 event – the biggest sustainability event of the year.
