Leading On Sustainability – With Awaris’s Climate Leadership Programme

Sustainability in business is no longer just a topic of discussion. It’s now a must for most organisations. Awaris’ Climate Leadership Programme helps drive change towards more business and environmental sustainability.

The impacts of climate change are growing. But simply changing and adapting technologies is not enough. Behavioural change is just as important for sustainability. Other obstacles include emotional resistance, distraction, inertia, and a lack of personal reflection on the change needed. To put sustainability into practice, employees also need a positive attitude towards meeting sustainability challenges. And this is where Awaris helps.

Our Climate Leadership programme enables employees to support the company’s sustainability strategy. We help change mindsets and inspire sustainable competencies. The foundation for the programme is mindfulness. This builds inner qualities such as compassion, capacity for action, and awareness of climate challenges. Ultimately, transforming businesses to more sustainable futures. Allowing them to view the world in a more sustainable way.
