This study investigates how organizational culture and leadership support can significantly influence employee engagement with sustainability goals. Using a qualitative methodology and semi-structured interviews, we collected primary data from 11 participants across various departments in a global Swedish manufacturing company. A thorough analysis integrated concepts from existing literature and identified clear themes from the empirical data. The findings underscore the pivotal role of organizational culture and leadership support in driving employee engagement with sustainability initiatives and reveal that effective leadership, marked by transparent communication and motivational incentives, is vital in advancing sustainability efforts. This synergy catalyzes strong employee engagement and fosters eco-friendly practices when combined with a positive organizational culture that prioritizes sustainability and aligns with organizational objectives. Recognizing and nurturing this interplay can enhance organizational success and reputation, contributing to significant progress toward sustainability goals. Future research could explore industry comparisons and the influence of technology, external regulations, and innovative measurement methods on sustainability participation. Undoubtedly, this study provides invaluable insights for global organizations, emphasizing the crucial and ongoing interaction between organizational culture and leadership support in sustaining employee engagement in green sustainability activities.
