They are looking for a challenge: the cement industry is responsible for about 9 per cent of planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions and the sector is known as \u201chard to abate\u201d, meaning those emissions are difficult to cut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cI asked them, \u2018What makes you come to us?\u2019 \u201d says Anderson. \u201cThey say: \u2018I feel I can make a greater difference in the company.\u2019 Impact is driving more and more people.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"secondary-font__SecondaryFontStyles-nwz1jt-0 ftfvHJ\">71 per cent said it was important to their motivation and wellbeing at work to take action on climate change <span class=\"primary-font__PrimaryFontStyles-ybxuz7-0 jGeesm citation-text\">\u2014 \u00a0Survey by consultancy Kite Insights<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">A growing segment of workers is concerned about environmental issues, presenting bosses with a host of new challenges, from supporting employees with climate anxiety to hiring and retaining eco-conscious staff.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Last month Steffen Krutzinna, a trader at Shell subsidiary Next Kraftwerke, published a LinkedIn post saying he had quit his job after Shell boss Wael Sawan outlined plans to maintain oil output at current levels, while boosting gas production. The move came two years after the previous chief executive launched a plan to transform the company into a clean energy provider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Krutzinna wrote: \u201cI perceive that [new strategy] as a pivotal shift in corporate values, and I feel that short-term profits are above social and environmental responsibilities. I don\u2019t want to be part of that, so I\u2019m out.\u201d Shell says its energy transition strategy is unchanged.<span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">A survey by consultancy Kite Insights of more than 7,000 employees from 10 countries and 15 industries, from oil and gas to fashion, found that 71 per cent said it was important to their motivation and wellbeing at work to take action on climate change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">The research showed \u201cmost people are eco-conscious\u201d, regardless of what generation they belong to, according to Sophie Lambin, founder of Kite Insights. \u201cThere is a sense of unity around a desire to act [on climate change]. Action at work has the ability to be more than the sum of its parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"secondary-font__SecondaryFontStyles-nwz1jt-0 ftfvHJ\">Gen Z \u201care quick to judge and will use social media &#8230;[They] can sniff out greenwashing way ahead\u201d <span class=\"primary-font__PrimaryFontStyles-ybxuz7-0 jGeesm citation-text\">\u2014 \u00a0Nicola Stopps, chief executive of consultancy Simply Sustainable<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Katherine Brown, vice-president of inclusive impact and sustainability for Europe at Visa, says employees young and old \u201creally want to be engaged in the conversation\u201d about climate change. This means managers need to listen to staff and consider their suggestions, she adds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">She points to a recommendation from a member of Visa\u2019s facilities team. With most staff working from home on Fridays, the employee suggested the company could \u201cpower down\u201d the top floors of its London building, leaving just the lower floors, including the canteen, open for staff. This has now been done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Nicola Stopps, chief executive of consultancy Simply Sustainable, says different generations have different demands for their bosses. From their mid-30s, people want tangible evidence that a company \u201cshares their values\u201d, backed up by clear information about what it is doing. They do not want a beautifully designed sustainability report, but clear action in their daily working lives and capital investment such as making buildings more energy efficient, she adds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Climate-conscious members of Generation Z, however, are proving trickier to manage. Now no older than their mid-20s, they came of age with the Fridays for Future movement, which grew from Greta Thunberg\u2019s school strike over climate change, then mobilised teenagers around the world to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cGen Z are very eco-conscious; they are anxious about climate change,\u201d says Stopps. Managers need to consider how climate anxiety plays into mental health and wellbeing and understand that younger staff have high expectations that employers walk the walk on the environment, she adds. Gen Z \u201care quick to judge and will use social media &#8230;[They] can sniff out greenwashing way ahead\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Katy Jarratt, a consultant at recruiter Spencer Stuart, said businesses were becoming aware that younger employees would be key to developing solutions for climate change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cThe people who understand the technology that is going to change the dial on climate change are this age,\u201d she says. These young people have more power to set the terms of their work from management, because \u201cthey are the ones who have solutions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">This even applies when it comes to pay. She recalls one eco-conscious young candidate who, when negotiating remuneration for a post in an extractive company, refused the offer of shares as an incentive because they would not hold investments in a carbon-intensive business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cThey said: \u2018I can\u2019t believe you\u2019d think I\u2019d want shares in this industry\u2019,\u201d says Jarratt. The company was forced to come up with something different, offering shares in a \u201cmore renewable part\u201d of their operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Jarratt adds that managers will have to step up if a company is making an announcement that might \u201ctrigger\u201d climate anxiety, ensuring they have internal and external communications sorted and are prepared for tough questions from employees. This can be a retention issue: managers who fail to take climate concerns seriously risk being unable to hire the best staff or losing good employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cYou need to be making sure they have a voice and that it isn\u2019t considered hysterical,\u201d she says. Employees who feel they are considered unreasonable because of their concerns about climate change \u201care going to feel excluded and leave the company\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote paywall\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/business\/work\/2023\/08\/25\/how-to-embrace-the-climate-conscious-worker\/\">\n<p class=\"secondary-font__SecondaryFontStyles-nwz1jt-0 ftfvHJ\">Vitality has linked employees\u2019 bonuses to their involvement in training on climate issues, as well as introducing meat-free days in the canteen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">A survey of 2,000 UK office workers from OnePoll on behalf of Supercritical, a company focused on carbon removal, last year found more than half of 18-24-year-old workers would consider leaving an employer based on net zero credentials, compared with about a third across all age groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Ben Tolhurst, director of Business Declares, a network focused on climate change, says companies also need to provide clarity and guidance to employees who want to take part in climate protests, saying many were concerned about how such action will be viewed by their employers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">It is \u201csomething that greater numbers of employees and business leaders are considering\u201d, says Tolhurst. He points to recent pickets outside government departments as part of an Extinction Rebellion protest, showing that business people once reluctant to take direct action are now willing to stand outside government buildings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Deepak Jobanputra, chief sustainability officer at Vitality, the health and life insurance business, says: \u201cAs we are recruiting, we are getting more and more people asking the question around our environmental credibility. There is a push from these individuals to be doing more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Vitality has linked employees\u2019 bonuses to their involvement in training on climate issues, as well as introducing meat-free days in the canteen as part of its efforts around global warming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Jobanputra says he sees \u201cquite a broad spectrum of views\u201d among the company\u2019s 2,000 employees in the UK. Some are \u201creal champions\u201d of climate issues, for others \u201cit is not top of their mind\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">But Kite\u2019s Lambin warned that managers are missing an opportunity by not tapping into the eco-consciousness of their workforce. Recruitment of people with sustainability skills is a \u201cvery hot market\u201d, but it is often \u201cmuch more efficient to upskill your current employees\u201d, she argues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cThere is a climate and sustainability element in every job,\u201d she says. \u201cIt seems crazy to not tap into the eco-consciousness.\u201d \u2013 Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2023<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Magali Anderson, chief sustainability and innovation officer at Swiss cement maker Holcim, recruits for a role on her team, 50-100 people normally apply.
