Drive Sustainability Through Top Green Talent
What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It's a framework used to evaluate a company's performance in these areas.
Environmental factors include a company's impact on climate change, resource management, and pollution.
Social factors focus on a company's relationship with its employees, customers, and communities.
Governance refers to a company's leadership, ethics, and transparency.
ESG: The new employer brand must-have
From a business perspective, many countries have already implemented mandatory ESG reporting.
In Singapore, in 2016, the Singapore Exchange established a comply-or-explain ESG reporting framework which requires listed companies to comply with national ESG reporting standards or to provide detailed reasons for why they have not.
From an employer branding perspective, having a strong ESG agenda is useful when looking to attract and retain good talent.
With today’s talent becoming more conscious of environmental factors, like climate change, and social factors, like, economic disparity, it’s crucial for organizations looking to attract top talent to demonstrate genuine action and adherence to their environmental and social commitments.
The ESG/Green talent gap
While ESG initiatives have become increasingly essential for businesses to attract and retain top talent, organizations are facing a significant challenge: finding individuals with the specific skills and expertise to drive these efforts.
According to ManpowerGroup’s Global Insights report “The Greening World of Work”, nearly 8 in 10 organizations have developed their sustainability strategies. However, 94% of organizations lack the necessary talent to implement their goals.
It’s clear that the growing demand for ESG professionals has outpaced the supply, with the shortage being particularly acute in regions where ESG practices are relatively new or in newer areas of ESG where there is a lack of specialized education and training programs.
This talent gap can hinder companies' ability to meet their sustainability goals and maintain a competitive edge in the job market.
If you find these challenges familiar, let Manpower help you develop a tailored strategy to attract top talent to drive your ESG initiatives forward.
