From Good Intentions to Great Retention: Unveiling Climate Action’s Multi-Level Benefits

Employees want to see their company do more towards climate action.

A recent survey by APCO finds that close to half (47%) of employees working in companies of more than 50 employees across 39 countries believe their employer is not doing enough towards reaching net zero targets by 2050.

• • Only 17% of employees think their employer is doing the most they can.
  • There’s an immense opportunity for companies to enhance their involvement in climate action and effectively communicate meaningful efforts to their employees.

The sentiment that companies can and should be doing more to reach net zero targets is most pronounced among employees residing in Sub-Saharan Africa, closely followed by employees in Europe and the Americas. Although employees in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions have slightly more positive perceptions of their employer’s progress towards net zero, just over half believe that their employer is taking sufficient action in this regard.
