by Keya Mediratta

Introduction: DEI Meets Sustainability

Diversity and sustainability are no longer separate conversations—they’re intertwined in shaping the future of work. Today’s job seekers, especially Gen Z and millennials, are looking for employers that care—not just about people, but about the planet too. For DEI professionals, this means thinking beyond representation and toward holistic impact.
Here’s how you can use Windō to champion inclusive and sustainable hiring.

 

1. Start with Transparent Employer Comparisons

DEI professionals are often tasked with recommending employers or building pipelines. Windō lets you compare companies based on both their diversity metrics and sustainability commitments—side by side.
Top Tip: Look for companies that show long-term DEI investment and environmental impact reporting. These are the employers today’s value-driven candidates want.

 

2. Use Windō’s Hiring Trend Tracker

Don’t waste time guessing where to focus your outreach. Windō’s Hiring Trends tool shows where diverse, sustainability-focused roles are growing fastest.
Top Tip: Track industries like green tech, ethical fashion, and sustainable finance for high-growth, high-impact roles.

 

3. Set Smart Job Alerts for Inclusive Sustainability Roles

Windō lets users set alerts tailored to their values. For DEI professionals sourcing candidates, this means curating opportunities that align with both identity and purpose.
Top Tip: Help your candidates set alerts for companies that support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and have climate goals.

 

4. Champion ‘Hidden Gem’ Employers

Big names often dominate the conversation—but purpose-driven candidates are open to discovering smaller, mission-led employers.
Top Tip: Use Windō’s sustainability scores to uncover lesser-known but high-impact companies to recommend in your DEI hiring strategy.

 

5. Use Windō Insights to Support ERG & Outreach Strategy

Want to align your ERG or university outreach efforts with truly sustainable employers? Windō’s data can back your choices with real metrics.
