Foster Denovo Limited, the multi-award winning financial advisory business, has today announced it is piloting a new workplace sustainability programme, aimed at helping people discover how to work, think and live more sustainably, fast.
The move follows the launch of Foster Denovo’s range of active and passive sustainable portfolios, as the firm continues to integrate sustainability across its entire business as well as in the services it provides to its clients.
It sees Foster Denovo partner with Sue Skeats to launch a pilot of Skeats’s unique 100 Ways in 100 Days™ workplace programme. 100 Ways in 100 Days is a fun and engaging behaviour change e-learning programme, delivered via the workplace
It is based on psychology and neuroscience – and the theory of marginal gains (how many, many small things, multiplied over and over, can have significant impact).
But, rather than being doomy or preachy (to which people don’t respond well), 100 Ways brings colleagues together through positive and colourful social interactions, one of the most effective techniques for changing habits.
The programme informs and educates employees through a series of entertaining, memorable and thought-provoking, bite-sized ‘Ways’ (lessons), all empowering them to make small changes and sustainability improvements in their everyday lives.
Each lesson is underpinned by evidence from highly credible, trusted and knowledgeable organisations, such as NGOs, academics, charities and other reputable sources – and each helps towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
So far this has seen those included in the pilot come together for ‘Wear Your Oldest Clothes to Work Day’, raising awareness of the impacts of fast fashion, ditch Google for rival search engine Ecosia, which ‘plants trees while you search the web’, as well as compete for the opportunity to win a hamper of eco-goodies’ by sharing their best sustainability tip.
