DRIVER: The beginning of 2024 marked the introduction of new ESG-related regulations and frameworks that have created a record demand for training of professionals and services from sustainability consulting firms. These include updated mandates for ensuring the reliability of ESG reports, ongoing incentives to support the transition to clean energy, and enhanced guidance for assessing impacts.

RESTRAIGNS: The market is expected to face obstacles due to insufficient awareness of ESG consulting and training services. The criteria linked to ESG tend to steer companies towards short-term objectives rather than long-term sustainability goals.
