Global Action Plan International

A cost-effective investment

Increasingly, both businesses and non-profits are looking to develop a policy on climate change. One tool to achieve their goals is to invest in technical eco-efficiency measures. Many organizations are also shifting to renewable energy, and compensating their CO₂ emissions by planting trees.

The contribution that employees can make is however often neglected, despite the fact that investments in behaviour change are among the most cost-effective. Developed by GAP Netherlands, this program is used, with excellent, measurable results, by several large and some smaller businesses to engage staff in initiatives to reduce CO₂ emissions.

The program materials are tailored to the client organization. An in-house team is trained to deliver the program, including benchmarking and post-program measurements, with coaching from GAP staff.
