As a result of this commitment, more than 70% of engineers say they seek out jobs that support climate change solutions and expect their organizations to address climate change as part of the company culture. These issues are so important that 34% of engineers also say that they would leave their job if their organization did not provide opportunities to support sustainability initiatives.
