Green works!
But just how green is your working world in reality?
Is my company ecological enough? Or are we still at the early stages when it comes to sustainability at the workplace? In future, the Green Workplace Index will provide an accurate assessment. This is the first index to focus entirely on the topic of an active ecological corporate culture.
Ecological, practical, good. Or just adequate?
We are all aware of the importance of ecological sustainability in our daily working lives. At the same time, however, many employees have difficulty assessing just how green they and their company are. Are there any sustainable ideas? And are the measures then implemented? Do you think that a lot more could be done in your company? Does your manager actively support you?
Sustainably relevant: The Green Workplace Index
You can help us to develop a Green Workplace Index for individual industries and fields of activity. This will provide a clear benchmark which can be referenced by companies, employees and job seekers. Let us work together to drive an ecological corporate culture. It is time for us to go that extra mile so that the world can continue to grow.
What do we want to achieve with the survey?
With the Green Workplace Index, we show where companies stand from the perspective of the employees and how they can develop further. We want to create an environment for companies whereby
employees can have greater involvement
new ideas have a platform
each employee contributes to making the company greener
a culture change and a rethink take place
a movement is initiated
it pays to lead by example
This is only possible with your support, to ensure that reliable data is available in the future. Why not get involved in this important survey so that the Green Workplace Index can help to make companies greener.
Why is the Green Workplace Index important?
For a green transformation.
