Without even the present restrictive laws imposed on companies to promote sustainable development, consumers are now aware of the impact they can have on the behavior of companies. What is quite paradoxical, in terms of regulations, public organizations are generally more inclined to adopt laws on sustainable development through the law makers, but do not take advantage of public pressure to better contribute to sustainable development. As part of this research, we conducted a qualitative survey based on 65 semi-structured interviews with assets, about a third of whom work in the public sector, to find out their attitudes and behavior of their organization in relation to sustainable development. Our survey confirms that the awareness of the role that each employee can play within their company is there and that it is important to act, but that the actual action is not yet being taken. This ongoing research will then compare the profiles of private and public sector employees to see why the public sector seems to be lagging behind.
