The Importance Of Esg

A new report just out finds that companies’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments now have a huge influence in their recruitment/retainment prospects. ESG credentials are now a deciding factor in applying to a job for half of the UK workforce, with one in five willing to turn down work if it doesn’t align with their values. The report also found a growing trend of millennial and younger workers participating in ‘climate quitting’, and are actively seeking out new employment that is more environmentally conscious.

As employees take more of an active stance in the companies that they choose to work for, organisations that truly care about their environmental impact and make strides to ensure their staff are educated on the effects of their everyday decisions, are becoming more and more attractive to employees today when looking for work.
