Pledge for the Planet
Bring Pledge to your workplace

Healthy habits for people and planet

21 days of practical climate action, a bit of movement and some friendly competition.

Keep it impact-only, or add walking, running, cycling and swimming. Either way, everyone adds to one result.

Why it works

Turn workplace sustainability into something people can do

Workplace sustainability can easily get stuck in a strategy doc or a Green Team to-do list.

Pledge gives everyone a way in.

People choose practical actions, track their progress and see what happens when the whole team acts together. Add movement and it doubles as a wellbeing challenge.

Workplace activation

Pledge walls, QR sign-ups and live impact displays in your lobby or shared space.

Two Mission types

Choose how your Mission works

Every Mission includes environmental pledges and impact tracking. Add activity tracking if wellbeing is part of the goal.

Included in every Mission

Environmental action Mission

Practical climate action with one shared impact leaderboard

Everyone picks pledges, checks in and uploads photos to earn points. One impact leaderboard tracks pledges, CO₂e, waste and systems change, by person and by team.

What we measure

Total pledges made

CO₂e reduced

Waste reduced

Systems change actions made

Best for: sustainability campaigns, climate action months and Green Team programs.
Adds activity

Environmental action and activity Mission

Climate action and movement combined in one team challenge

Everything above, plus walking, running, cycling and swimming (logged directly or via Strava), with a second leaderboard for activity. Nobody needs to be sporty to take part.

Four steps

How a 21-day Workplace Mission works

1

Build your Mission

Tell us your goals and locations, and we’ll set up the teams.

2

Launch and pledge

We handle onboarding, comms and launch. Everyone picks their pledges.

3

Track and compete

Pledges, photos and activity feed live team and individual leaderboards.

4

Celebrate the result

A final impact report you can share across the organisation.

Leaderboards

A little healthy competition goes a long way

Compete by office, department or floor. Prizes and mini challenges optional. The goal isn’t the perfect environmentalist or the fastest runner, it’s more people giving it a go.

Support and reporting

With you the whole way

From launch day to the final report, we help you get people involved and show what they achieved together.

Engagement support

We help you keep everyone in it

A great Mission needs more than a sign-up link.

We can run it end to end or work alongside your team.

Reporting

See what your team achieved

You’ll get a report you can drop straight into staff comms, sustainability reporting or wellbeing updates.

Case study

Bringing climate action into the workplace with JLL

For Climate Action Week, we ran a five-day lobby activation at 180 George Street with JLL. People stopped, chatted, made a pledge and added it to a giant map of Sydney.

Questions from workplaces

Good questions

How long does a Workplace Mission run?

21 days.

We also run shorter challenges, workshops and activations.

What is the difference between impact and activity tracking?

Impact tracking (pledges, check-ins, CO₂e and waste) is always included.

Activity tracking (walking, running, cycling and swimming) is optional.

Does everyone need to be active or sporty?

No. Even when activity tracking is included, your team can take part through environmental pledges without recording movement.

Can remote and hybrid team members take part?

Yes, anyone can join from anywhere.

Can we create teams?

Yes. Teams can be based on offices, departments, floors, locations or any structure that makes sense for your organisation.

Can the Mission connect to our sustainability goals?

Yes. We work with you to select themes and actions that support your existing sustainability priorities.

What support does Pledge provide?

We can handle planning, setup, onboarding, launch, comms, updates and final reporting.

How much does a Workplace Mission cost?

Pricing depends on how many people take part, how much we tailor it, and the workshops or activations you want.
