Measuring Social Sustainability at Work

Measuring Social Sustainability at Work

This IDC Perspective highlights how social sustainability at work is a vital aspect of ESG development that is often overlooked in favor of environmental and economic concerns. In Europe, social sustainability is heavily regulated at local and regional levels and legally requires reporting on issues such as human rights, fair labor practices, diversity, and work-life balance. "Prioritizing social sustainability in the workplace can offer various benefits for companies beyond mere regulatory compliance," said Meike Escherich, IDC Lead for European Future of Work. "Understanding how to effectively measure and report on social sustainability can aid in building robust supply chains, attracting partners and customers, boosting employee satisfaction and efficiency, and elevating brand reputation."
