Executive Guide to Becoming a Sustainable Business
 

Step 4 of your 10-step executive guide to becoming a sustainable business is to engage your employees.

Many companies make the mistake of waiting until they have a well-documented sustainability plan before engaging employees.

Yet, green leaders, sustainable thinkers, and environmentalists will come from every part of your business.

According to the statistics, most of your employees will be passionate about sustainability and climate change.

For instance, ˜40% of millennials have taken a job because of a company’s sustainability credentials and would take a pay cut to work at an environmentally responsible business.

It’s also important to understand that every single employee can play a role in your company’s mission to be more sustainable, whether that’s eliminating paper in accounting or plastic in the cafeteria, working remotely, or carpooling.

Involving everyone early sends a strong message that sustainability is universally essential to your company.
