TRANSFORMING OFFICE CULTURE: 3 CHANGES THAT ARE CLIMATE POSITIVE

Reaching net-zero is crucial for climate initiatives, but as the 8.2 billion human population rapidly increases, CO2 emissions have risen exponentially. Climate Week experts say net-zero is a requirement, and pledges alone won’t move the needle.

To make an impact, we need to go beyond climate neutrality. The term "climate positive" means achieving net-zero carbon emissions while creating an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Making three simple changes in your office culture will jumpstart your journey towards becoming climate positive.

FOSTER A CLIMATE POSITIVE CULTURE

Encouraging employee participation in sustainability challenges, workshops, and training sessions will foster a shared sense of responsibility for reducing the company’s environmental footprint.

Examples of “sustainable morale” boosts can include:  

  • Electronic Waste Stations
  • Low-emission transport incentives: carpooling, cycling, or public transit passes
  • Company provided zero-waste products like reusable water bottles, plastic-free cutlery, or reusable coffee cups.

Allow employees to contribute to sustainability initiatives by providing a platform to share unique ideas about ways to reduce the overall carbon footprint. By doing so, you’ll embrace a company culture that helps employees feel involved in the organization’s commitment to surpassing net-zero.

SWITCH TO REGENERATIVE COFFEE

In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognized regenerative agricultural practices as effective methods for sequestering atmospheric carbon. Regenerative practices enhance soil health, enabling it to capture and store carbon dioxide, ultimately benefiting the climate. Businesses should focus on restoring and enhancing ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources.

Regenerative agriculture is a potent tool for climate action by addressing the third largest natural carbon sink—soil. Reevaluating your office’s “coffee culture” to incorporate regenerative brands could contribute to carbon sequestration. Additionally, regenerative practices support farmers—who are the true custodians of the land—by promoting fair wages, human rights, and equity.

OPT FOR FSC® CERTIFIED PAPER

Forests, like soil, serve as a vital “carbon sink” sequestering 7.6 billion metric tonnes of CO2 annually. Life on earth depends on them. When forests are managed responsibly by ensuring the preservation of biodiversity, forest flora and fauna can absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

FSC® Certified means your company can be certain that your paper products directly address:

  • Zero deforestation
  • Fair wage and work environment
  • Conservation standards
  • Community rights

Transitioning office supplies to FSC® Certified paper products, including coffee cups, paper, and packaging, means your company is helping protect the planet’s second largest natural carbon sink.

These transformations will benefit the planet and contribute to a resilient, forward-thinking business model. Moving beyond net-zero encompasses not only emission reductions but also reimagining our approaches to work, consumption, and collaboration to foster a more sustainable future.
