Companies are quietly dropping sustainability (ESG) targets from exec pay - even after recent public commitments.
⚠️ That rollback risks sidelining climate and social goals, especially as AI accelerates resource use and governance challenges. Without mandatory ESG reporting—unlike financials—accountability becomes optional.
