Sustainability at German Companies (1st Quarter 2020)

Sustainability: a buzzword encountered frequently in social and public discourse. In the first quarter of 2020, on behalf of Randstad Germany, the ifo Institute conducted a survey of just under 800 German HR managers. The goal was to investigate how German companies understand “sustainability” and how they put it into practice. Overall, the results of the survey show that the majority of the companies already seem to be investing more time and effort in the topic of sustainability. The focus here is usually on environmental protection issues, but sustainability efforts have also already found their way into the HR domain. It is striking, however, that companies’ commitment is driven more by stakeholder motives or a sense of social responsibility than by legal requirements, which play only a subordinate role.
