Abstract

The present paper aims to emphasize the importance of employees’ engagement for supporting the goal of delivering on existing sustainability commitments and, in the end, for building a real culture of sustainability in a company. The scope of the research is to assess the truthfulness of a company’s sustainability report through a survey conducted among the employees in order to determine their level of engagement in creating a sustainable culture. Also, we determined which are the opportunities and/or risks faced by the organization in this regard. We analysed the aspects related to economic conditions and systems, environmental sustainability goals, programs and performances and also details regarding workforce and community - knowledge and the interest of the employees in sustainability, employee’s engagement in sustainable practices and their satisfaction with their work and the company they are working for.
