Climate Habits: The workplace programme that empowers your people to live and work more sustainably
The workplace programme that empowers your people to live and work more sustainably
What’s Climate Habits?
Climate Habits is a positive, motivation-building programme you do over three weeks with colleagues in the workplace, supporting each other as you make lifestyle changes together to live and work more sustainably.
We help people who aren’t already super-green to use behavioural tips and tricks to make progress across the domains of travel, diet, energy use and waste – at home and at work.
What does it involve?
Our model is about people supporting people:
A friendly coach facilitator demonstrates how behavioural science holds the key to making changes at work and at home, while the group dynamic provides a forum to compare notes and celebrate your wins
A purpose-made group chat helps connect the group between in-person or virtual workshop sessions and provides a place for encouragement and sharing over the three weeks
A simple web app helps you set goals and track progress, with just enough information and signposting about how to be more sustainable to overcome natural inertia to taking action
By the end of the programme, 9 out of 10 participants say they feel more motivated and able to take action thanks to being part of the group, and virtually everyone has taken some steps towards being the kind of person who successfully reduces their climate impact.
It made me commit to changes I wanted to make but hadn’t made a plan for getting around to do.
The WhatsApp group added a bit of social proof and social pressure

How is Climate Habits different?
It’s easy to get bogged down, intimidated or overwhelmed with options when it comes to living a greener lifestyle, and everyone finds different things easy or hard to change. So, we keep things positive, personalised and action-oriented – no competitive leaderboards, nagging notifications or fake rewards.
Impartial information & signposting
We’ve researched 200+ evidence-based actions which bring together impactful steps to take with advice from credible organisations on how to get started
Engaging, coach-led workshops
You choose and work on your personalised goals during three one-hour, coach-led workshops over the three week programme
Behavioural science
We apply principles and techniques from proven behavioural models to the field of sustainability at work as well as at home
Simple, friendly technology
Our web app helps you choose personalised goals and the group chat provides momentum and encouragement
What’s in it for organisations?
- Colleagues find new ways to connect and understand each other, bonding over common challenges or useful tips
- It’s a way to bring sustainability to life for staff and get everyone more comfortable and supportive of progress towards net zero goals
- It’s an off-the-shelf package that can incorporate existing workplace initiatives, and get people involved as part of their personalised plans
- Our before-and-after benchmarking and evaluation make it easy to collect data to demonstrate the impact your groups have achieved, and helps clients with their ESG or Scope 3 emissions reporting
- Climate Habits works equally well with virtual or in-person groups, and is a great team-building experience for new organisations or groups returning to being in the office together
- We can help larger workplaces build a train-the-trainer network of coaches, so groups of colleagues follow the programme on a scalable, cost-effective basis
The investment required depends on group format, customisation and support needed: our projects start from just £1,500.
Climate Habits was a great fit for our community as it had an innovative, efficient and enjoyable take on sustainable behaviour change.
I went through Climate Habits myself and was impressed – the group was fun to be part of, the tech worked smoothly and I made real progress
