Why engage employees in sustainability?
The only viable future economy is a sustainable economy, so companies across sectors are working to minimise their negative impacts, maximise their positive influence and align to Net Zero. These huge changes require an ‘all hands on deck’ approach. And your people WANT to play a role.

How ready are your employees to take action on Sustainability?
Head
Are your employees sufficiently knowledgeable about sustainability issues and the climate emergency?
Heart
Do they feel emotionally connected to sustainability issues, in a way that inspires positive action?
Hands
Do they know how they can play a role, through their job roles and within the organisation at large?
How I help
I’ve been working on sustainability since 2010, when I headed up Unilever’s global Marketing Academy and was challenged with inspiring and equipping Unilever’s global community of 6,000 marketers to put sustainability at the heart of the company’s brands. It’s been central to my work ever since.
01
‘Climate Fresk’ Workshops
Play your part in the climate transition.
The highly collaborative and engaging Climate Fresk workshop helps employees learn the fundamental science behind the climate crisis (and related sustainability issues) and start moving to action.
I’m a certified Climate Fresk facilitator.
3 hours, in person or online.
02
Connecting Sustainability to Organisational Purpose
I help clients integrate their commercial and sustainability strategies.
Companies tend to start with a sustainability plan that sits in a silo, separate from their commercial growth model and plans.
With Purpose as the organising ‘North Star’, I help clients bring together their commercial and sustainability strategies, and build a business case for being a company that brings about positive change.
03
Enrolling Employees as Sustainability Change Makers
I help engage employees in sustainability and inspire and enable them to take action.
I work with clients on all the key ingredients of change, including narrative, education, leadership role modelling, how sustainability impacts job roles; and critical cultural enablers such as ownership and trust.
‘There’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems.
There’s no magic bullet.
Instead there are thousands of answers – at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

Will has been a critical catalyst for change in Bighams, and I have no hesitation in recommending him for businesses and organisations who want to become deeply purpose-driven and step change their approach to sustainability.
