5 Tips for Making Your Workplace more Climate Conscious

By Sophie Adshead, Clean Future Managers at Unilever

1. Take small steps - turning your life around to become more climate-conscious can be daunting so pick micro habits you can change to make it more achievable and maintainable

2. Choose an area you’re particularly interested in to start with and explore whether it’s a certain type of product or a certain area of sustainability or even how you heat your home!

3. Don’t fall for greenwashing - sustainability can sometimes be viewed as a buzz to price up for, look out for companies making detailed commitments rather than vague generic claims,

4. Be mindful of your consumption - it’s easy to become a robot and carry on the way we always have. Tap into more awareness when you’re consuming things that could have a larger impact on our precious climate. Whether that be reducing meat intake, buying second hand in your local charity shop or starting a home compost!

5. Get curious - try to understand how things are made so you can get a deeper view of sustainability-related to different things and understand the overall impact
