The “Why”
Carbon and Your Client’s Workforce

Gen-Z Recruitment
A 2023 KPMG survey found that 20 percent of Gen Z job seekers rejected offers from companies that didn’t seem aligned with their own ESG values.
Employee Retention
Climate change protection is emerging as an employee benefit, with leading HR experts recommending that climate change response should be an explicit part of any company’s employee value proposition.
