Area chart stacked
Stacked area graph
This is similar to an area chart, but different colours are stacked on top of each other to show parts of a whole.
Limit to four or five categories to make the visualisation clear. Order your categories strategically, placing the most important ones at the bottom. Make sure that categories are easily distinguishable by using colours and labels.

2. To show the shifting priorities of business leaders towards ESG issues over time.
