Aligning culture, leadership and people practices
FREE01 – HR & Sustainability
This CIPD Level 0 video on aligning culture, leadership and people practices, part of the FREE01 HR & Sustainability unit, explores how organisations can embed sustainability through authentic cultural alignment rather than performative greenwashing. Addressing assessment criteria AC 1.3, the video examines the critical connection between an organisation's purpose, values and culture, emphasising how leadership and people practices must reinforce values-based behaviour to build credibility and trust. By studying purpose-led strategy and the risks of sustainability messaging that lacks genuine commitment, learners will understand how to assess and strengthen alignment across their organisation's systems and practices.
