Recently, a major financial institution in New Zealand announced it had implemented a sustainability learning program for employees following a successful pilot run last year.
The initiative is meant to help employees become more knowledgeable about sustainability to “link global issues to their own work and personal lives” and better support customers, according to Westpac.
“Sustainability is no longer a side-of-desk interest. Being aware of the impacts of climate change and how our lives and economies are changing as a result is important for everyone, no matter what your role or what industry you work in,” said Sarah Hearn, Westpac GM product, sustainability & marketing.
