Executives across the world increasingly see corporate governance as key to creating trust with shareholders, with 61% planning to prioritise environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies within three years, a recent study found.

A Board Frontier Topic survey by London-based consultancy Deloitte found 94% of global business leaders recognise the importance of building trust within their organisation. Yet only 39% of the executives surveyed indicated their organisations have achieved a high level of trust maturity, with around one-third lacking a consistent approach to maintaining trust.
