People And Culture Group Discussion: Climate Change & The Workplace

Climate Change and the Workplace

Climate change is a topic which is of huge importance to us all, but recent data shows that it is of particular importance to Millennials and Gen Z, who are pushing for tangible action to combat it; not just from politicians and government, but also from their employers.

It is also increasingly common for staff to look to their employers to align with, and demonstrate best practice in relation to, their personal values and beliefs; including on issues such as combatting climate change.

In the UK, around 70% of employees say that they are anxious about the future of the planet and society. Around 77% say that companies should be taking responsibility for their environmental impact and around 66% say that they want to work for a company that is having a positive impact.
