Each year over 130,000 people in schools and workplaces take part in Britain’s biggest environmental competition and Workplace Law are extremely excited about taking part in the upcoming challenge. The company says: "As part of our commitment to sustainability and helping our clients go beyond compliance, this challenge fits perfectly within our objectives."
The Climate Week Challenge can be done on any day of Climate Week and the Challenge is revealed to organisers one week before the event, so they can read through the materials prior to the day. The actual challenge, however, remains a secret from those participating until they begin.
The Climate Week Challenge itself is an exciting activity for teams of four to six people of any age and is a great way of helping to develop creativity, innovation and enterprise, team-working skills and experience of tackling real-life environmental issues to a deadline.
For those who want to get involved, it is worth noting that it is completely free to do so, any organisation can take part, and an unlimited number of teams can be entered. Furthermore, no preparation is needed and teams are informed that all you need is ‘a table to work at with pens and paper’.
Commenting on Climate Week and Workplace Law’s involvement, Environmental Consultant, Kim Greed, said: “Climate Week is a really good opportunity for any organisation to get really involved in the issues surrounding climate change and sustainability. Although these should be integrated into day-to-day activities throughout the year, Climate Week is a great opportunity for really forward-thinking and enjoyable events.
“Climate Week itself is a really important event, because it emphasises the need to consider these vital environmental issues. For those with jobs outside of facilities or environment, it is a chance to get involved, and to consider the implications and responsibilities associated with climate change.”
Kim added: “Workplace Law are very excited to be taking part in the challenge this year, and staff from all departments are looking forward to the team-based exercises and light-hearted competition which will see who can best tackle the task for sustainability.”
Workplace Law are proud to be part of an event which aims to inspire a new wave of action to help people live and work more sustainably.
