Market Overview:

Government bodies and industries are increasingly emphasizing on sustainability and environmental protection. Stringent government regulations associated with environment protection and climate change, such as the European Green Deal and its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), are necessitating industries to seek guidance from environmental and social consultants. Moreover, the growing significance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance is further fueling the demand for these services. However, absence of uniform regulatory standards in regions, including Asia Pacific countries (Indonesia, Thailand, etc.) and African nations (Kenya, Nigeria, etc.), continue to challenge market growth to a certain extent. Continued global focus on becoming environment-friendly is likely to present lucrative opportunities for stakeholders in the coming years.
