Abstract
"Efforts to mitigate climate change and promote environmental sustainability have far-reaching implications for businesses and their employees. These efforts require firms to adapt their business models and processes to meet the demands of a greener economy. At the same time, firms are facing an increasing shortage of skilled labour. It has become particularly challenging for companies to find employees with the necessary environmentally and climate-friendly skills. In order to trace the importance and development of green skills in companies in recent years, we aggregate the Greenness of Jobs Indicator (GOJI) generated at the occupational level to the establishment level. This allows us to analyze how the proportion of establishments and their employees with significant shares of green, brown and white skills has developed in recent years since 2012. The results show that establishments with green skills are tending to gain in importance in quantitative terms. The analysis suggests that establishments with green skills may be somewhat better positioned to compete for labor, although there is no evidence of climate quitting, i.e. employees leaving brown establishments in favor of green establishments. However, the data shows that women are more frequently represented in establishments with green skills than in those with brown skills. This could indicate that establishments with green skills are more attractive to women. Overall, the study shows that the ecological transformation brings both challenges and opportunities for companies. While labor shortages are a problem, companies with green skills may be better positioned to meet these challenges and benefit from the opportunities that arise."
