The Sustainable Workplaces Workshop

Do you want to help your workplace become more sustainable but not sure where to start?

Join us for a one-day workshop to learn the basic principles and tools to champion actions towards creating a sustainable workplace.

The benefits of sustainable workplace include showing great corporate leadership, reducing your organisation’s carbon footprint and reducing waste, while also improving staff health and saving money through improved efficiency.

The facilitator, Tim Cotter, is a psychologist who specialises in the psychology of sustainability. Since 2005, Tim has trained hundreds of sustainability professionals to be more effective at engaging people in sustainability. His consultancy, Awake, works with leading organisations around the world to support them in their efforts to embed sustainability more deeply in their culture.

This workshop most benefits those who have the job of driving sustainability initiatives in their organisation (E.g. reducing waste, increasing sustainable/active transport) and who wish to further develop their ability to understand the psychology of change and how to apply it.

Topics covered include:

• The enablers of a culture of sustainability and how to develop them
• Skills for identifying where people are at and what they need to take action
• Engagement techniques, such as using values, social norms and behaviour change
• Tools to support your sustainability leadership, including looking at reducing waste and increasing sustainable/active transport for staff

Outcome:
Participants will get tools and strategies to put together an internal action plan for their workplace, including deciding which areas they want to focus on.
