What’s a good way to get buy in from non-sustainability oriented clients into the benefits of spending into more sustainable practices (they are always penny pinching so it’s borderline e impossible).

For my organization’s clients, we typically make the case that sustainable practices overwhelmingly tend to yield significant cost savings and pay for themselves in the medium term. Outside of whatever PR implications, demonstrable cost savings or a minimal cost burden seem to be the best drivers for instituting sustainable practices.

Which country? If you can find where sustainability either creates money (ESG indices, business op, pr) or cost savings (energy efficiency, supply chain management etc) then thats where you draw your case.
Compliance and/or board/investor demand are also great drivers.

You speak about what they aren’t motivated by… what excites them? What DO they invest in? What’s important to their stakeholders? If you can connect the dots between what matters to them, rather than what matters to you, it can start the conversation. And if you know they aren’t interested in sustainability, don’t label the conversation as such. 😊

Hello I just started my first job (I’m 22) and I need to set up a 401k for matching with my company. I’m really confused how this works because I want to try to hit the IRS maximum of $19,500 for Roth contributions this year. Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great
