Sustainability strategies are gaining a stronger foothold among CFOs worldwide, found a global survey from professional services network Deloitte LLP.

The survey, which included CFOs in 14 countries, found more than half of CFOs have increased their involvement with sustainability over the past year. Nearly half saw a "significant link" between sustainability performance and financial performance, according to the survey.

Many CFOs' sustainability agendas center on green technology, the survey indicates. About 55% of planned investments in that area will reportedly go toward building energy efficiency equipment, with 38% earmarked for on-site renewable energy equipment.
