SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES
Workday is playing a growing role in enabling green skills by helping organisations identify, develop and deploy sustainability-related capabilities across their workforce. Green skills generally refer to the knowledge, behaviours and technical abilities needed to support environmental sustainability, such as energy efficiency, carbon accounting and sustainable supply chain management. As companies set ambitious climate targets and expand green job roles, they need systems that can map these skills, track progress and connect them to business outcomes.
Workday’ s skills-based architecture allows employers to classify and tag emerging green skills, from climate risk analysis to circular economy design, within a single, integrated talent platform. This helps HR teams understand where green capabilities already exist, where gaps lie and which learning pathways can close those gaps. By aggregating skills data from different sources, Workday also supports interoperability, making it easier to bring in external sustainability certifications and training records.
For employees, this creates clearer visibility of green career paths and development opportunities, aligning personal growth with the organisation’ s net zero and ESG strategies. As demand for green skills accelerates in every sector, Workday’ s focus on skills intelligence positions it as a key enabler of the transition to a low‐carbon economy.
