If you’re already tracking your energy and carbon usage and taking steps to increase your sustainability you should consider publishing regular publicly available sustainability reports.
The main reason to publish sustainability reports is being able to publicise your efforts. While taking the effort to introduce sustainable practices is great for society and the environment, the primary benefits to your business rely on other people knowing what you’ve done.
A regular and easy to understand sustainability report will showcase your efforts to the larger public, this is a document that will be seen by the larger public, and should be publicly accessible. This is a powerful document that will be seen by anyone considering working with or for your company.
Studies have shown that employees are becoming more motivated by company culture, wellbeing and their work impact than by money, this is especially true for younger generations. If your employees know that their company is a sustainable one they will be more motivated in their work.
A sustainability report should include your carbon and energy usage, comparisons with previous usage, upcoming plans to increase sustainability, as well as the results of previous plans to increase sustainability.
Ideally you would publish the report on an annual or bi-annual basis, outlying your achievements
Even if you’ve just started tracking and reducing your environmental footprint you can publish your preliminary results, detail your intentions and plans to increase your overall sustainability. Being able to detail your path from the very beginning is a good place to be in, as you can often look back several years later and see significant progress.
