Many companies that do not have sustainability programs, or that have weak ones, are experiencing the impact (either via employee exits or reduced employee enthusiasm) of not being part of a recognized and respected sustainability certification program.
Bottom line – If you do not have a credible sustainability program, the majority of your workers are not happy.
This article talks about a recent study that suggests that workers have left and will continue to leave companies that do not have a credible sustainability program:
- 69% of respondents are anxious about the future of the planet
- 67% are not satisfied by businesses’ efforts to tackle environmental and social challenges
- +75% said employer values and commitment to tackling environmental and social challenges were key when they selected a job; but 68% say their company is not meeting their expectations
- 45% say they would consider resigning if their employer does not improve and align with their values
- +33% have already quit a different company due to this
This is costing you in reduced production, vacancies, new hire costs and training.
