What makes a sustainability initiative in the office work?

It’s not rocket science.

First you need the energy to do it. Someone has to step up to the plate and champion the initiative. You need a leader.

Second you need people support. One person cannot move the mountain. Invite the people who are most passionate to be part of a team.

Third you need budget. The ROI is there. (Want proof?)

Fourth you need to base the program on research, not whim. The research says:

• Start small
• Ask for personal commitment
• Set goals and make it a team effort
• Inspire and empower with an internal communications campaign
• Measure and report
• Celebrate and reward

Finally you need the tools and expertise to make it happen. You’re in the right place.
