Many Industries Plan to Increase Investments in Sustainable Sectors in 2025

According to a Capgemini Research Institute survey, many global companies plan to increase investments in sustainable sectors by 2025.

These sustainable sectors include waste processing, clean energy, carbon emission reduction, and others.

The plans are most prevalent in the aerospace and defense industries.

Of all the aerospace and defense companies surveyed, 92% intend to increase sustainable investments in 2025, while 5% plan to maintain the same level as last year, and 3% plan to decrease investment.

A similar trend is observed in other industries, where those planning to increase investment significantly outnumber those who do not.

"Most industries plan to increase investment in sustainability significantly in 2025," stated the Capgemini Research Institute in its report.

Capgemini conducted this survey in March 2025, involving 1,001 senior company executives from 12 industry sectors and 13 countries across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

The companies where the respondents work have annual revenues ranging from US$1 billion to over US$20 billion.
