In Just Capital's 2021 survey of the People’s Priorities, “The board of directors holds executives accountable to the interests of its workers, customers, communities, and the environment, as well as shareholders,” emerged as the third-most important issue to the public, representing over 10% of their rankings model.

Upskill for green jobs of the future
