As the year winds down, it’s the perfect moment to re-energise staff, highlight progress, and build sustainability momentum before teams break for the holidays. These quick, practical actions can help your organisation drive meaningful engagement—while setting the stage for stronger carbon reductions in the year ahead.
1. Run a Staff Energy Challenge
A simple workplace competition can spark big behavioural shifts.
Whether it’s “Switch-Off Week” or a team-based challenge to reduce unnecessary electrical use, staff engagement rises when people can see their impact.
Carbonfit makes it easy to measure changes by tracking reductions in electricity and gas consumption over the challenge period.
2. Optimise Heating Systems as Winter Begins
Heating is one of the biggest drivers of winter energy consumption.
A quick pre-winter audit can identify easy wins such as:
- Lowering set points by 1°C
- Ensuring timers match current occupancy
- Checking for heat loss around doors and windows
Even small adjustments can deliver tangible savings across large sites—reducing both carbon and cost at a time when energy usage naturally rises.
3. Launch a Supplier Spotlight on Emissions
Your supply chain is a powerful lever for carbon reduction.
Choose one key supplier this month and start the conversation about:
- Their own Net Zero plans
- Emissions data transparency
- Opportunities for joint efficiency projects
A simple “Supplier Sustainability Spotlight” shared internally builds awareness and encourages responsible purchasing decisions.
4. Promote Small Behaviour Changes With Big Impacts
Sometimes the simplest actions make the biggest difference. Encourage teams to:
- Shut down equipment fully at the end of the day
- Unplug chargers when not in use
- Use natural light where possible
- Reduce unnecessary printing
These small, repeated habits add up—especially across multi-site organisations.
5. Use CarbonFit to Track Engagement Results
Visibility drives motivation.
By capturing energy and activity data in Carbonfit, organisations can clearly see:
- Changes in consumption
- Short-term intervention impacts
- Which sites or teams are performing best
- Where further action is needed
Real-time dashboards make it easy to share progress updates and celebrate wins, keeping staff engaged and aligned with your wider Net Zero goals.
