1. Awareness raising:

Start with trainings and workshops to educate your employees about the importance of sustainability and environmental protection. Inform them about the impact of their behavior on the environment and show concrete examples of how they can make a difference.

2. Encourage participation: 

Give your employees the opportunity to contribute ideas and suggestions to improve sustainability in the company. Encourage them to actively participate in environmental protection projects and look for solutions together.

3. Reward systems: 

Implement reward systems or incentives for employees who are particularly committed to sustainability. This can take the form of bonus payments, additional vacation days or other benefits to recognize and encourage their commitment.

4. Integration of sustainability into the daily work routine: 

Integrate sustainable practices into the daily work routine, e.g. by using recycled materials, reducing paper consumption, promoting public transportation or introducing energy saving measures.

5. Team building activities: 

organize joint activities and events that raise awareness of environmental protection and sustainability and bring the team together. This can range from forest/park clean ups to tree planting activities and community service projects.

6. Communication and transparency: 

Keep your employees regularly informed about the progress and results of the company's sustainability initiatives. Create transparent communication channels to receive feedback and facilitate open discussion on sustainability issues.
