Spark Ideas At Work

No matter what your role is within your organisation, you and your colleagues are instrumental to how your company functions, innovates, and survives. Whether it’s driving innovation in your team, changing company-wide policy or encouraging other individuals to take steps, getting your organisation to engage on climate issues could be one of the fastest ways to multiply your personal impact and to improve your organisation’s performance. Inside most companies, only a handful of people with “sustainability” roles consider climate issues part of their workday. But in this, the biggest challenge we face in human history, every job must be a climate job.

Tips

Every job is a climate job. Wherever you work and whatever you do, your job will have an impact on the planet through your company’s actions, the products you make, the suppliers you choose, even the targets and incentives within your own team.

Climate Solutions at Work is a useful guide from Project Drawdown. Form a team with others, figure out the right people in your company to talk to (it may not be the boss!), learn about the latest global climate solutions, or join action-oriented groups outside of your company to share resources. You could also participate in the Count Us In movement as a company-wide initiative - contact us to find out more.

Benefits

Businesses play a crucial part in reducing the world’s carbon emissions, not only in terms of their own footprints, but in their role as shaping social behaviours and political agendas. When we come together with colleagues our impact is multiplied - and we create the power to persuade others.

Taking action at work helps to shape better jobs, and create companies we’re all proud to work for. Research shows that companies who engage on sustainability issues perform better. A study conducted between 2015-2020 found that climate-aligned companies had over 6 times better returns.
