CarbonCulture at DECC: Digital Engagement for Sustainability at Work

This paper reports on CarbonCulture at DECC, an employee engagement platform for sustainable behaviour, which took place at the Department of Energy & Climate Change in London. Through a participatory design process, we developed simple web apps enabling staff to log actions around late working, food choices and commuting, and see colleagues’ actions, providing a digital interface linking physical and spatial behaviour. We achieved a high level of engagement (16% of staff used the apps) and identified patterns of user engagement to inform future development.
