CEOs Worldwide Boost Growth Investments, Prioritize ESG, but Lag in AI Strategy
A majority of CEOs worldwide, 68%, plan to boost investments in growth strategies, driven by optimism about the global economy's future. This positive outlook is particularly pronounced in the United States and Europe, with 75% of CEOs believing in economic growth over the next three to five years.
However, only 29% of CEOs currently have a comprehensive, embedded AI strategy, indicating a gap in digital transformation. This finding comes from the Arthur D. Little 2025 CEO Insights Study, which surveyed 309 global CEOs from leading companies with revenues over USD 1 billion.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives are also a top priority for CEOs, with 88% treating them as equally important as other critical business projects. Furthermore, 69% anticipate renewed government intervention to support future growth.
The study reveals a confident outlook among CEOs, with plans to invest in growth and prioritise ESG initiatives. However, the lack of comprehensive AI strategies suggests an opportunity for businesses to leverage technology more effectively. As CEOs look to the future, they anticipate government support to complement their growth strategies.
