Answer
Dedicate time for sustainability reviews: Schedule regular sustainability reviews, such as a quarterly progress check or a monthly meeting to assess the impact of the sustainability actions.
Organize sustainability-focused events: Hold themed days for activities like planting trees, office clean ups or staff training workshops on energy and waste reduction.
Allocate certain hours for people or block out time for sustainability efforts each month. For example, staff can stop their regular work to work on sustainability actions in given hours or days. You could have a pool of hours dedicated to sustainability efforts, and time tracked against this. You can use this as a metric for tracking your overall efforts towards sustainability over time.
Ensure your team can have flexible scheduling for sustainability projects
For big projects like retrofits, have plenty of planning sessions
