The OECD report shows that <\/span>91% of companies listed by market capitalization are listed on the stock exchange.<\/span><\/b> disclose sustainability-related information, compared to 86% in 2022. This growth reflects a gradual integration of environmental and social considerations in the <\/span>strategy and business operations, especially in the industrial sectors, which account for much of the global environmental impact.<\/span><\/b>especially in the industrial sectors, which account for a large part of the global environmental impact.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

In Europe, a region with a strong presence of manufacturing companies, disclosure reaches 98%. <\/span>98%<\/span><\/b>leading the way in compliance with the G20\/OECD Corporate Governance Principles.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

External verification reinforces the credibility of reports<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>

81% of the companies that publish information on sustainability <\/span>have external verification services<\/span><\/b>a maturity indicator in the management of non-financial data. Most opt for limited verification (56%), while only 17% achieve reasonable verification. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

This advance is key for industries with high environmental or energy <\/span>high environmental or energy impacts<\/span><\/b>where transparency and reliability of information on emissions, investments and risks are essential to maintain the confidence of investors and society.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The energy industry, focus of the analysis<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>

The document devotes a chapter to companies in the energy sector, highlighting that, between 2015 and 2024, <\/span>tripled their dividends and share buybacks<\/span><\/b>while investment barely grew by 5%. This imbalance suggests the need to <\/span>directing more capital toward clean technologies and low-carbon<\/span><\/b> and low-carbon industrial processes.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The report also points out that only 55% of <\/span>55% of energy companies<\/span><\/b> disclose Scope 3 emissions linked to the use of their products. Given their weight in the industrial chain, this shortcoming limits the full assessment of their contribution to the climate transition. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Advances in governance and the role of investors<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>

Two-thirds of companies have board committees dedicated to <\/span>board committees dedicated to sustainability<\/span><\/b>and 70% of the boards oversee climate issues, an increase of 17 points over 2022. In addition, <\/span>67% link executive compensation to sustainable factors, reinforcing the coherence between strategy, performance and corporate responsibility.<\/span><\/b>reinforcing the coherence between strategy, performance and corporate responsibility.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>institutional investors<\/span><\/b>which control 47% of listed shares, are key to industrial transformation. They hold 36% of the shares in the 100 companies with the highest emissions and 37% in the leaders in green patents, which gives them a decisive role in directing capital towards innovation and efficiency. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Interoperability and transparency: challenges for the industry<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>

The OECD recommends <\/span>strengthening interoperability between disclosure frameworks<\/span><\/b>The harmonization of reporting standards, such as ISSB, ESRS and GRI, to reduce compliance costs and improve comparability across jurisdictions.
