Employee engagement briefing: Shop-floor sustainability

By Ellen R Delisio on Mar 3, 2015

Companies that engage their employees fully in sustainability efforts see the greatest impact, including on profitability

What began a few decades ago with employees collecting scrap paper and aluminium cans for recycling and reminders to turn off lights in empty conference rooms has evolved into corporate sustainability programmes that cover everything from recycling plastic to renovating schools.

As corporations moved from being more environmentally friendly, through green to sustainable, they have done more to include employees in their efforts. With sustainability evolving to include public service, more companies have started to encourage their employees to volunteer in their own communities or around the world.
