Sustainability Training Designed for Engagement

Sustainability training is quickly becoming something companies need to implement in order to show their commitment towards addressing global challenges. Forward-thinking companies know that retention of the information is key and that real results need to be shown.

The Mini Climate Summit is an educational workshop experience that combines creativity and collaboration to ensure information is absorbed and then used. It brings employees together in real time to learn science-based facts and then gives them a forum to collaborate on solutions.

A better approach to sustainability training

Engages active learning

Studies show that active learning workshops are a more effective teaching approach than passive methods such as lectures or video tutorials. This means that employees don’t just memorise facts - they actually apply their knowledge, strengthening their training.

Measures that are good for the planet can also be good for business, such as ones which reduce waste and save energy. By getting solutions from employees, the company benefits from more areas of applied knowledge as employees bring the understanding of their roles to cost-saving sustainability measures.

Uplifting and inclusive, the summits show employees how much their company cares about including them in sustainability efforts. They also bring people together that might not normally get the chance, such as those in offices in other countries or those in other departments.

What Participants Thought

  • "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.
