Hint: Success has more to do with company employees than anything else
As global sustainability initiatives evolve with technological advancements, regulatory changes and shifting consumer values, they remain critical to ensuring a greener future for all.
According to Kyndryl’s 2024 Readiness Report, 90% of company leaders say sustainability is a business priority, yet many face difficult tradeoffs that impede their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts. And only 27% of leaders report seeing tangible sustainability outcomes from their tech modernization efforts.
While technology, policies and processes are essential for progress in sustainability, companies often overlook the one factor that ties them together: their people. At many companies, sustainability is no longer a top-down directive. Instead, the active engagement of employees can drive innovation, improve operational efficiencies and reduce environmental impact. However, challenges remain. Organizations and employees often hinder their own progress due to myths about what it takes to work effectively toward sustainability goals.
To celebrate Earth Month, Faith Taylor, Senior Vice President of Global Citizenship and Sustainability at Kyndryl, discusses the realities of corporate sustainability journeys and the role employees play in building a green economy.
