With this in mind, sustainability in 2023 has become as much the responsibility of each employee as it is the wider organisation\u2019s.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do you make sustainability everyone\u2019s job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainability might not be the core focus of every role but there is an activist in us all. At Microsoft we believe there are ways to unlock this in employees and empower them to engage with sustainability in a way that is authentic and relevant to their role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past 20 years, I have spent a lot of time in the \u2018S\u2019 of ESG. Alongside communications and storytelling, I now have the privilege of focusing on the \u2018E\u2019 of ESG. I\u2019d like to share four ways we at Microsoft have found effective in helping make sustainability everyone\u2019s job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/03\/Sustainability-2.gif\" alt=\"Animated Gif Image\" class=\"wp-image-67129\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 Vision and mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your vision and mission clearly align with sustainability? If employees know that their work ties in with the mission of the company, they can feel empowered in making sustainability their business too. Businesses have an opportunity and a responsibility in sustainability so look at your company\u2019s mission and if you need to influence work with the CEO to weave in sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote blockquote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote blockquote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAt Microsoft, we have a strong purpose-led mission: \u2018Empower every person on the planet to achieve more.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Victoria Oakes, Chief of Staff for Sustainability, Microsoft<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 Collaboration is Queen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sustainability everyone\u2019s role, break down silos to make it easier for everyone to work together and foster a community that will collaborate for the greater good. At Microsoft, three things helped us to tackle this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we created a sustainability board where we picked people in each area of the business to represent their teams in sustainability. This forum created a safe space to collaborate, share blockers, challenges, ideas and innovation, and disseminate information. Scaling the work and sharing knowledge is also critical, so having a board has really helped us to develop \u2018champs\u2019 in the business who share their insights via their board team lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, we created a dedicated channel on Teams that connects the wider business and gives us a place to share opportunities, wins, training and ideas. We often do social events centred around volunteering, which is not only a good way to give back but also a way to form closer connections with the extended team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, having an approachable and credible Chief Sustainability Officer is critical to help galvanise people who want to become part of something that isn\u2019t always their core remit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 Demystify sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Microsoft we have a Sustainability In Action badge that helps us to train the company in all things sustainability, from our own goals and pledges to our narrative, tools and products. We also have regular training and learning sessions with our core team present, so people know who to approach for different kinds of help, support and insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to help educate and train people on sustainability is by leveraging world events to tell your story. Earth Day and COP, for example, are great opportunities to educate people when they\u2019re most engaged. We also recently published the <a href=\"https:\/\/query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com\/cms\/api\/am\/binary\/RE5bhuF\">Microsoft report on Closing the Sustainability Skills Gap<\/a>, to help businesses grasp the importance of sustainable transformation. It\u2019s also imperative to remember the importance of social impact. Creating social value and purpose whilst doing business gives companies the opportunity to give back authentically. Companies that <em>can<\/em> do more <em>should <\/em>do more, and those that invest will go further. Here at Microsoft, we&#8217;re proud of our social impact programs both locally and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 Reward and recognise <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When people feel valued and recognised their wellbeing is improved as well as their company engagement, it\u2019s also a great way to build community and drive momentum. We always use our dedicated Teams channel to recognise those who complete training, make progress or sign deals. In fact, we\u2019ve recently launched our Sustainability Star of the Quarter Award, which recognises those who make an impact in this space across the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay committed to your sustainability goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To wrap up, I want to stress the importance of bringing energy, experience and passion when galvanising cross-discipline teams throughout the business. Walk the walk, stay driven, and commit to building a programme that breaks down silos and promotes collaboration. <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/sustainability\">Invest in sustainable strategies to help you achieve net zero<\/a>. Look for ways to recognise and reward sustainability efforts, and ultimately try to tie in sustainability and ESG with your company\u2019s core mission and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will it help you make progress towards your sustainability goals, but it\u2019ll inspire a lot of people along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria Oakes\" class=\"wp-image-576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/08\/Victoria-180x180-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past 20 years Victoria has spent much of her time in communications and the purpose world.
