\"\"<\/a>Corporate sustainability initiatives are becoming increasingly important in recruiting talent, and companies are making \u2018green\u2019 or sustainability initiatives a core part of their supply chain strategy.<\/p>\n

* By Sarah B. Hood *<\/em><\/p>\n

As Millennials and their successors (\u201cGenZ,\u201d born around 2000) flood the workplace, employers with strong sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) records stand to win in the recruitment arena. Members of the younger demographic value qualities like work-life balance and a sense of satisfaction or doing well in their work lives at least as much as monetary rewards.<\/p>\n

Corporate sustainability initiatives are becoming increasingly important in recruiting talent, now that \u201cthese future candidates can very easily research what your company cares about,\u201d said Jeromie Atkinson, senior director, supply chain at MHI member TECSYS. And it is something they take seriously at TECSYS already. Last December, TECSYS received a 2018 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Green Supply Chain Award, which recognizes companies making \u2018green\u2019 or sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy and working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their own operations and supply chains.<\/p>\n

The changes aren\u2019t just happening on the corporate side, though. It is happening on both sides of the interview desk\u2014and sustainability is just one of the topics. \u201cThe top 10 things that drive employees are pretty different than they were 50\u2014or even 25 or 10\u2014years ago,\u201d said Atkinson.<\/p>\n

The 2016 Deloitte Millennial Survey reported that \u201cduring the next year, if given the choice, one in four Millennials would quit his or her current employer to join a new organization or to do something different.\u201d However, \u201ccorporate values that are shared with and believed by Millennials also promote loyalty\u2014particularly when employers demonstrate a strong sense of company purpose beyond financial success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fidelity Investments\u2019 Evaluate a Job Offer Study, a survey of full-time workers, found that 41 percent of Millennial respondents expected to start a new job in the next two years, despite being happy at work, and reported they would take a pay cut averaging $7,600 in exchange for an improved quality of work life\u2014which might include purposeful work or corporate culture.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the 2016 Cone Communications Millennial Employee Engagement Study found that 64 percent of Millennials actually won\u2019t take a job unless the employer demonstrates strong CSR practices, while 83 percent \u201cwould be more loyal to a company that helps them contribute to social and environmental issues\u201d and 89 percent \u201cexpect employers to provide hands-on activities around environmental responsibilities in the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new generation of employees who are coming out of school place a greater emphasis on corporate responsibility, and one of those elements is sustainability,\u201d Atkinson said. \u201cThey want organizations to create programs and to instill in their employees a sense of responsibility for the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
