New WE Report Shows Major Gap Between Employee Knowledge and Employer Sustainability Commitments

Campaign Asia, 23 May, 2023

Corporate sustainability programs have become a major priority for business leaders across industries. Lack of engagement can lead to a disconnect between employees and sustainability initiatives and disengaged employees may not see the relevance. 

WE fielded a global survey with 2,000 employees across the U.S., the U.K. and Singapore to better understand their attitudes toward corporate sustainability programs — with respect to their own employers and for business in general.
