Is your SME struggling to find time, drive, and funding for your corporate social responsibility ambitions? We have the answer that will engage your employees and create a culture of sustainability at your organisation.
The SME sustainability challenge
Sustainable business publication Edie recently surveyed over 2,000 SMEs on sustainability. The study found that one-third of respondents felt that sustainability initiatives were too costly to implement. While a further 27% of respondents expressed a lack of time for sustainability initiatives within their organisation and a lack of in-house skills. If these findings align with your beliefs about your SME, you have come to the right place.
Our solution
We are employee engagement specialists working in sustainability and wellness with over a decade of experience. In 2021, we created a cost-effective platform for SMEs called The Net Zero Challenge. The platform has over 30 activities that encourage positive behaviour change that leads to reduced costs and CO2 emissions. The programme has price bands to suit the size of your business, allowing you to reap sustainability benefits in a cost and time-effective way that requires no in-house knowledge. We ensure employee engagement through our gamification technology which includes individual, organisation, and sector-specific leader boards, as well as prizes. Individual winners receive shopping vouchers while winning teams get a donation to go to a charity of their choice. These factors make The Net Zero Challenge an effective CSR tool for sustainability, wellness, and charitable giving.
In addition to this, The Net Zero Challenge can benefit your business in the areas of sickness, turnover, organisational culture, and public relations. Our programme incentivises better physical and mental health through wellness modules which can reduce employee sickness and turnover. Further, the platform creates community and conversation in your organisation through friendly competition. This contributes to a positive organisational culture which will reduce turnover and the cost of onboarding. The Net Zero Challenge is also an excellent opportunity for your business to improve its public profile. Trackable metrics such as charitable donations, CO2 and waste avoided, and electricity saved can be used in press releases and internal reports. While publicity for your organisation’s journey to net zero will lead to new customers and increased consumer confidence, customer retention, and local support.
