Toward Net Zero - Team Engagement for your organisation



“What we really learned and built on was the benefit of holding meetings where people can discuss things and voice opinions, not just receive information.”  Scottish Parliament participant (read more here)
 
At The Surefoot Effect we believe that change should not be prescriptive, and that significant long-lasting change is only achievable by working collaboratively. We work with your team in a dynamic, iterative, and proven, process which allows your team’s creativity to turn to innovative carbon cutting. By turning the expert model (expert swoops in, tells an organisation what to do from a prepared ‘toolkit’ and then leaves) on its head, this engagement approach empowers and supports the real experts – those who do the work in your organisation – to make carbon reduction changes on an ongoing basis that can move your organisation to Net Zero. Read a case study for carbon savings made at the University of Edinburgh.

In a recent survey (published Jan 2021) of 1.2 million people across 50 countries, 64% agreed there is a climate emergency, of which 59% said the world should do whatever is necessary and urgently in response. Making companies pay for pollution which causes dangerous climate change had high support in seven of twelve high-income countries, led by the United Kingdom (72%). The Scottish Government’s Net Zero Nation initiative helps to underscore the imperative for commercial organisations to move to Net Zero. In our experience both staff and clients now expect an organisation to take action. Many young people are now including these criteria in their job searches and individuals across the globe are starting to question their own impact on the world around them. Organisations need to take action now to see long lasting essential change - and we want to help you to make that change. Read about our work with a large corporate here.

​
The set-up:
- we work with 8-10 members of your organisation
- a series of (online as required) workshops to help them unearth opportunities for carbon cutting within your organisation
- create an immediately actionable plan  
- the workshops are a mixture of climate literacy information and space to explore the ideas generated.  ​
The team are supported between sessions with information to help them develop their ideas for change. The final session pulls all of the ideas together leaving your teams feeling empowered to impact change within your organisation.
