The theme for Earth Month changes each year, with a focus on different environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, and plastic pollution. This April, the theme is “Our Power, Our Planet” and focuses on engaging governments, businesses, and citizens to play their part. Highlighting the importance of renewable energy and encouraging global participation in initiatives aimed at tripling the generation of clean electricity by 2030.

Why should my business get involved?

Earth Month acts as an opportunity to educate employees and customers about environmental issues and promote a culture of sustainability. With a recent study finding 62% of employees want to work for a company that has a positive social and environmental impact, there’s no better time for businesses to start embedding sustainability into their practices. As well as providing an environmental benefit, sustainable practices can improve employee satisfaction and well-being. A study by the University of Exeter found that employees who work in eco-friendly buildings with good air quality, natural lighting, and green spaces have 15% higher productivity levels.
