World Environment Day: Office Workers Want Their Employers To Commit To Sustainability, Finds New Research<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nearly three quarters of office workers (73 percent) want their workplace to improve its sustainability policy, and nearly a quarter (24 percent) would refuse a job at an organisation with a poor sustainability record, according to a recent survey of 1,000 office workers.<\/p>\n

The survey, carried out by\u00a0TopLine Film,<\/a> was commissioned to mark the UN\u2019s 46th World Environment Day<\/a>. The theme for this year is #BeatAirPollution, with research<\/a> from the World Health Organisation showing that 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe polluted air on a daily basis. The research from TopLine Film suggests that company-wide commitments to sustainability help to both attract and retain employees.<\/p>\n

Nearly a third (31 percent) don\u2019t think their workplace is environmentally sustainable. When asked whose responsibility it is for an eco-friendly workplace, the majority (72 percent) said all employees were responsible, followed by the CEO (24 percent) and the HR department (17 percent).<\/p>\n

Jamie Field, MD of TopLine Film<\/a> said: \u201cEstablishing environmentally friendly practices in the workplace is simply good for business. Attracting and retaining employees is as good a motivation as any other to get your company thinking about sustainability. But a sustainable mindset starts from the top \u2013 it\u2019s only fair that those in charge show their commitment to the cause, and implement policies that encourage sustainability at work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked what their workplaces currently do to address sustainability, the most popular activity was recycling office waste (50 percent). Others cited policies to reduce paper usage (29 percent), reminding staff to reduce energy consumption (29 percent), using energy efficient fixtures (27 percent), hosting virtual meetings to reduce travel time (26 percent) and encouraging reusable kitchenware (24 percent).<\/p>\n

\u201cEncouraging sustainability in your workplace doesn\u2019t have to be difficult or expensive. With over 15 tons of plastic dumped in the ocean every minute, banning single use plastic in the office is a logical step towards sustainability. It\u2019s our collective responsibility to make a difference to our planet and it starts with making small changes. These simple policies remind everyone about sustainability and your commitment to it,\u201d<\/em> concluded\u00a0Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
