A company’s sustainability journey begins in the workplace. In our day-to-day work lives, it can be easy to fall into patterns and routines based on convenience, rather than organisational values and climate goals. By revisiting and reimagining the ways in which your company’s daily routines could be decarbonized, you can create a company culture which prioritises sustainability – with positive effects compounding over time.
