Are you looking for original eco-friendly team-building ideas to strengthen team spirit within your company? Whereez can help with 5 innovative solutions that will inject positive energy into your teams!
Why organise a green team building event for your teams?
A joint study by Harvard and MIT is unequivocal: being happy at work boosts productivity by 31%. Companies that focus on employee well-being also reduce attrition by 50%. Zero waste team building is the ideal collaborative solution for increasing the motivation of your talents and reinforcing their sense of belonging to a subject that brings people together.
An original team activity
The main advantage of team building lies in its positive impact on interpersonal relations. Exchanging ideas around a conference or event strengthens the social bonds between employees.
Zero waste team building adds a socially responsible dimension to your fun workshop. Your teams learn about sustainable development issues in an original way.
The feeling of taking part in protecting the environment increases their pride in belonging to your company. It also provides extra motivation to adopt eco-responsible behaviour at work and on a day-to-day basis. After an eco-team building, 82% of participants feel a renewed motivation to work.
Raising ecological awareness
The ecological transition is no longer an option, but a necessity. Incorporating eco-responsible team building into your CSR strategy shows your commitment to a responsible approach. It also has a real awareness-raising purpose.
Did you know that 68% of employees want to learn about the environmental challenges of sustainable development within their company? Zero waste team building is a great way of raising your employees' awareness of these issues and helping them to adopt environmentally responsible behaviour. The fun workshops help to embed anti-waste reflexes into everyday life in a natural way.
Our zero-waste team building ideas
You can choose from a range of events on the theme of ecology and sustainable development. At Whereez, we can help you organise an activity that combines creativity, ecology and respect for the environment to make your responsible team building seminar a success.
Anti-waste cooking workshop
Did you know? Food is responsible for 22% of the total carbon footprint. After transport, which accounts for 30%, and housing, which causes 23% of emissions, it is the 3rd largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Anti-waste team building is the ideal activity for making lasting changes to your consumption habits.
Give your teams a fun and committed experience around the fight against food waste. Zero waste cooking is a great way to take care of the planet... while enjoying yourself! Quizzes, hands-on workshops and tastings punctuate this convivial activity. Your employees will learn to cook differently, using local produce, limiting animal proteins and, above all, reducing waste. It's an original way of strengthening team cohesion while adopting more responsible practices.
The waste fresco
CSR team buildings combine collaborative games and fun workshops to explain the mechanisms of climate change. They enable you to organise an educational event that makes the concept of ecological transition more concrete and easier to understand.
Take advantage of this CSR workshop to raise your employees' awareness of the actions that need to be taken to reduce the impact of our consumption patterns. Then initiate a debate to stimulate collective intelligence on climate change. In this way, each participant can put his or her finger on the need to adopt a zero waste policy.
Learn how to make pallet furniture
This DIY workshop uses a creative challenge to raise participants' awareness. At the heart of the debates? The impact of a product's origin on our planet's ecological footprint.
Reinforce your employees' zero-waste approach with a co-creative experience: make furniture out of pallets to protect the environment. They will learn the techniques for responsibly creating a desk, bench, bottle holder or bookcase from reclaimed wood.
Building a wind turbine as a team
Participants can create their own wind turbine to generate the energy needed to power a joint project.
Your employees will experience an unusual collective challenge that will test their ability to:
- Comply with specifications;
- Optimise the resources at their disposal;
- Create without wasting materials.
This eco-responsible team-building activity is a unifying and engaging experience, ideal for raising your teams' awareness of the challenges of sustainable development.
