Forrester’s 2025 Environmental Sustainability Predictions

If we’ve learned anything in the past 5-10 years, it’s that the only certainty is uncertainty.

From shifting regulations to evolving consumer expectations, nobody truly seems to know what tomorrow will bring. And when that happens, businesses tend to turn to cautious but profitable strategies to stay afloat in choppy waters.

But what does that mean for sustainability measures? Are they just another cost to be cut when times get tough, or can they actually drive efficiency, resilience, and long-term growth?

One of Forrester’s latest reports, Predictions 2025: Environmental Sustainability, explores how leading companies are transforming sustainability from an obligation into an advantage. Businesses that prioritize sustainability are not only meeting regulations, but they’re also reducing costs, improving operational efficiency, and staying ahead of shifting market demands.

In this report, Forrester identifies key sustainability trends shaping the business landscape in 2025, including:

• Sustainability as an efficiency driver: Companies are shifting from compliance-driven sustainability to strategies that reduce costs and improve operations.
• The rise of the circular economy: More than a third of Fortune 100 companies are committing to circular economy goals, focusing on waste reduction and product lifecycle management.
• Workforce protections in a changing climate: As climate change accelerates, businesses are being forced to rethink employee safety policies, especially for frontline workers exposed to extreme conditions.

As 2025 continues to unfold, businesses that integrate sustainability into their operations will gain a competitive edge, reducing costs, improving efficiency, and preparing for the future. Forrester’s Predictions 2025: Environmental Sustainability report provides the insights you need to navigate this evolving landscape with confidence.
