Environmental Sustainability Culture

More and more we hear people say, if you are not a sustainable company you will not be in business 10 years from now. Organisations have a pivotal role to play when it comes to securing a sustainable environment for future generations. Companies, big and small, understand what’s at stake and we see innovation, creativity, sense of urgency and drive for change across the globe. And we know that the advantages are not just to the planet; having a strong environmental sustainability culture has a positive impact on company brand and reputation, employee pride and retention, as well as the bottom line.

Why companies assess their environmental sustainability culture?

Assessing the culture of environmental sustainability shows companies where they are in their sustainability journey. It also answers the key question: have the employees across all levels of organisation bought into it? Our environmental sustainability assessment was designed in conjunction with industry experts on the environment and is currently being used by leading companies around the world.

Already a leader?

Leading companies consider their actions in the context of the environment, from the use of resources, choice of a supplier, or even seemingly simple things like employees turning off the lights. Those companies are actively looking for ways to improve and are willing and able to communicate new ideas and initiatives to their leaders. Finally, they inspire others in their community and throughout their supply chain to lift their own standards, too.

For companies that are leaders in environmental sustainability, understanding how their employees think, feel and act allows them to measure whether it has become a key value throughout the organisation. It helps them to identify if certain cultural dimensions work better than others and if employees have environmental issues front of mind.

Starting the journey?

For companies who perhaps are just starting out, measuring their sustainability culture provides them with an important baseline with insight into key focus areas in order to improve quickly and efficiently. This means identifying where focusing their efforts would bring the most benefit across the organisation.
