As mandatory carbon reporting among companies is set to take effect, a new study reports that 66% of Australian workers are expressing a desire for their companies to do more in recycling or reducing waste in the workplace.
The study commissioned by COS, discovered that 74% of respondents believe that recycling regularly is the most impactful thing they can do for the environment, and 85% say that they actively engage in sustainable practices at home. However, only 70% get to do so in the workplace, which the study attributes to the lack of promotion of sustainable practices in many workplaces.
The data further notes that those who have the highest levels of engagement when it comes to actively reducing their carbon footprint through sustainable initiatives include real estate agents and property managers, hospitality workplaces, and medium-sized businesses.
