Fortune 500 ESG Reports Build on Solid Marketing Pillars

Published on October 16, 2023

ESG marketing from Fortune 500 companies in 2024 will consider a broader range of local and global stakeholders.

Environmental, social and governance standards are gaining traction across U.S. industries, and the Fortune 500 ESG reports for 2023 reflect the evolving landscape. With the intensifying impacts of climate change, businesses have amplified their commitments to reduce carbon footprints.

The capacious ESG concept covers a range of corporate actions. The impact of ESG is visible in corporate decision-making processes and transparency efforts. In reviewing 2023 ESG reports from Fortune 500 companies, Purpose Brand found several themes likely to extend to 2024 and beyond.

• Accelerated Climate Action. The rise of net-zero pledges, investment in renewable energy sources and increased focus on carbon capture and storage techniques mark significant strides in corporate climate action.
• Social Responsibility and Equity. Following global social movements, companies intensified their commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. Fair wage practices, gender parity in leadership roles, and initiatives against racial discrimination have become non-negotiable ESG components.
• Supply Chain Sustainability. The emphasis on sustainable sourcing surged, with companies taking a deeper dive into their supply chains to ensure ethical and environmentally friendly practices, from raw material extraction to final product delivery.
• Embrace of the Circular Economy. The systems gaining traction minimize waste and reuse or recycle resources. Companies are adopting more sustainable packaging, product-as-a-service models and waste-to-value initiatives.
• Water Stewardship. Beyond carbon, water scarcity became a focal point. Organizations implemented water-efficient practices and contributed to initiatives that ensure clean water access in vulnerable regions.
• Biodiversity and Conservation. As concerns over depleting biodiversity grew, businesses actively supported conservation projects and integrated biodiversity considerations into their operations, particularly in sectors like agriculture, mining, and real estate.
• Digital Responsibility. Innovation puts stress on cybersecurity, data privacy and ethical AI use. The rise of deepfakes, concerns over surveillance technologies and AI’s role in decision-making make digital ethics an ESG concern.
• Regenerative Agriculture. In the food and agriculture sectors, the trend moved beyond sustainability to regeneration—practices that restore and rejuvenate the environment, rather than just minimizing harm.
• Mental Health & Well-being. The conversation around employee well-being extended beyond physical health, leading to investments in supportive infrastructure, flexible working conditions and mental health programs.
• ESG Investment. The financial sector witnessed a surge in ESG-based funds, representing an estimated one-third of all assets under management. Investors increasingly considered ESG scores, attempting to correlate strong ESG performance with long-term profitability and risk mitigation.18% of North American investors in a Capital Group survey prioritize ESG.
• Transparency and Reporting. Regulatory changes and stakeholder demand drive enhanced ESG reporting. Integrated annual reports, third-party audits and adherence to global ESG reporting standards became common.

ESG Report Examples from the Fortune 500

Purpose Brand has expanded its ESG marketing and public relations review as companies take different reporting approaches. For 2023, we separately consider marketing that focuses narrowly on climate sustainability, particularly in the energy sector, or broadly on corporate responsibility or impact, the approach of many consumer brands. Another review looks across formats at reporting on diversity, equity and inclusion issues, whether in an ESG or a workforce context.

This survey focuses on the new crop of corporate annual ESG reports, updating our 2022 survey. Corporate boards remain comfortable working within the ESG framework despite the political critique of “woke capitalism.” While companies report on an array of corporate responsibility concerns, evidence is scant that marketers avoid the ESG label. Prudential was one of the few companies that switched its reporting format from ESG to sustainability.

These 168 reports reference ESG in their report titles. Other posts in this Purpose Brand series review sustainability reports from Fortune 500 companies, diversity, equity and inclusion disclosures, and corporate responsibility and impact reports. Organizations with ESG reports are listed in order of revenue, as determined by Fortune, with links to the reports.
