FRANKFURT, Germany, 15 August 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A media analysis carried out by Cision, a leading global provider of communication platforms and consumer and media intelligence services, shows that despite multiple crises, ESG issues remain very prominent in traditional media and social channels. In a comparison with survey data, the analysis shows that despite a declining willingness among consumers to pay more for green products, and there being less interest in knowing about the social responsibility taken by companies, public discussion in the media and on social platforms regarding ESG issues increased between January 2020 and June 2023. The analysis also shows that discussions about ecological and social issues are becoming more heated and politically charged. Articles in traditional media as well as posts on Twitter (now X), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, forums and Tumblr were examined. For comparison, the experts also examined articles and posts in English, Spanish, French and Italian.

Key Points: 
  • The analysis also shows that discussions about ecological and social issues are becoming more heated and politically charged.
  • Articles in traditional media as well as posts on Twitter (now X), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, forums and Tumblr were examined.
  • Environmental issues accounted for 51 percent of the ESG reporting in German-language media reports in 2020 and for 70 percent in 2023.
