Whilst it is ultimately the actions of individual companies that is critical, trade and sector associations can play a key role in driving forward the fuller integration of sustainability concerns into both businesses’ day-to-day operations and into their longer term investment plans. 这句话的整个意思不太能确定。请帮帮忙。

Explanation:
首先此句没有错误。

Whilst it is ultimately the actions of individual companies that is critical, 是 it is...that ...句型。意思是说，虽然最终来说各个公司的行动至关重要，

关于该句型可参考下面的链接：
http://wenda.tianya.cn/wenda/thread?tid=02b29ad0df47d6db
根据此链接：这句话可以改写为：

Whilst ultimately the actions of individual companies is critical, 这样就容易懂了。

后面的一句话是说：但是贸易和行业协会可以在以下方面发挥关键作用：推动将可持续发展进一步整合到企业的日常运营及其较长期的投资规划中。 longer是相当于日常而言的，算是比较长的了，形容词比较级
