A lot of the opportunities in the sustainability space are being driven by smart consumers and investors who are actually looking at organisations taking proactive measures on sustainability.

🍀 What sort of steps are you taking to build sustainable practices in your organisation?

🍀 How are you encouraging your employees and consumers to become more sustainable friendly?

🍀 How are you measuring the carbon footprint?

🍀 Smart consumers now want to know how much of their waste is getting recycled. They are looking for sustainability reports.

🍀 Investors want to see actions you are/ will be taking over the next 2 years to enhance sustainable practices.

So the question also comes in here as to how we can better prepare a future workforce so they are skilled enough to take those jobs in sustainability? My take:

✅ Universities have already started picking up those key degrees on sustainability and students want to enter into this space as they are witnessing a tremendous opportunity for themselves here.

✅ There is a huge demand for people to up-skill themselves in this space. The different communities run by Greenhouse, Greenfluence and NetNada in Australia are playing a big role to drive that.

✅ Since some of those job roles can be new and upcoming, I also feel that there needs to be some sort of knowledge awareness in the community so they feel empowered and confident of what sort of stuff they are expected to do in those jobs.

We had a chance to dive deeper on this with Simon Lunn, a sustainability analyst based in Sydney. Simon joined us as the 124th speaker on the Podcast.
