The new generation of Gen Z has shown a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices when it comes to their job preferences. This generation, growing up in an era of increased environmental awareness and social activism, has a deep concern for the planet and a desire to make a positive impact in their careers.
When applying for jobs, Gen Z individuals prioritize companies that align with their values and demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainability and ESG. They actively seek out organizations that prioritize environmental responsibility, social justice, and ethical business practices. These considerations are often as important as salary and other traditional job factors.
Candidates are looking for companies that have clear sustainability initiatives and policies in place. They value environmentally conscious practices such as renewable energy usage, waste reduction efforts, and sustainable supply chain management. They also appreciate companies that actively contribute to social causes and promote diversity, inclusion, and equality within their workforce.
According to a survey conducted by Deloitte in 2021, 70% of Gen Z respondents stated that a company's commitment to environmental sustainability would influence their decision to work there.
The 2019 Global Talent Trends report by LinkedIn showed that there was a 123% increase in the number of job postings mentioning "sustainability" in 2018, indicating a growing demand for sustainability-focused roles and companies.
How can companies recognize and address these values to better attract and retain top Gen Z talent?
