Improve culture. Reduce impact. Strengthen society.

As a sustainability leader inside a company, it can feel challenging to address the increasing pressure to scale up climate knowledge. From leaders seeking to minimise risk, employees wanting to be included, to regulators implementing requirements like Europe’s CSRD, meeting the demands of all can be overwhelming.

And while sustainability courses and seminars convey knowledge, it remains challenging to keep the energy high, the culture empowered, and the knowledge put into practice.

The Hive Initiative’s Mini Climate Summit makes it easy to address these challenges. It brings employees together in real time to learn science-based facts and then gives them a forum to collaborate on solutions. With ideas captured and implemented, KPIs are met, ESG requirements are fulfilled and culture is strengthened.

The result: more minds that help make company sustainability more active, enabled and empowered, which in turn makes society more educated and resilient.

Team Collaboration sessions

NORD/LB is one of the largest commercial banks in Germany. 60 people gathered for the first Mini Climate Summit in the German office, then 40 participants gathered for a second one with the London and Singapore offices.

NORD/LB used this as a jumping off point to start their own climate initiative in their company called the Change Initiative. They invited the Hive Initiative back to facilitate another workshop on resource scarcity, which was based on the same Team Collaboration template.

Testimonials

  • "We developed a lot of valuable ideas to take more climate action during the workshop, which we have already communicated inside the company and will follow up on regularly. We knew we could do more for a while but now we’re finally taking action.”

    – Participant from Nord/LB

  • "The Mini Climate Summit highlighted to me that ideas on how to solve big challenges like climate change can come from anywhere and that sometimes the best first step is to let them come to light."

    – Participant from HUB Ocean

  • "(I liked) the break out sessions as everyone was contributing to the group work by defining ways to strengthen our corporate ESG..."

    – Participant from Nord/LB

  • "The informative part was very interesting and also sad as climate change has a bad impact on the planet and those that live on it. However I really liked how the Hive Initiative team was not only focussing on the bad things but was optimistic that we can stop the worst if we all contribute to climate action."

    – Participant from Nord/LB

  • "Good examples that made me think."

    – Participant from Nord/LB

  • I personally really enjoyed the Mini Climate Summit organised by the Hive Initiative. It was a great way of discussing the climate emergency with my colleagues and coming up with ideas on how we, as a company, could make a difference.
