I’ve always been a bit of a secret data nerd, that’s why we take measuring our impact so seriously at Do Nation.
So this is my favourite time of year at Do HQ: impact report season. I’ve been knee deep in excel charts and pivot tables for the last few weeks. Heaven. I thought I’d take a few moments to emerge from my data-induced reverie to share some of the most surprising (and unsurprising) stats from this year’s Do Data. Continue reading
As we all know, the world around us is in flux. Uncertainty abounds. But one thing is certain: we need to take action on climate change now.
The bold targets set through the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals are great progress, but without action from each one of us, and soon, these targets will be missed and rendered meaningless.
Rosie Cripps, an engineer at Arup, felt passionate about this. Early in 2016 she contacted us asking if Do Nation could help her to open up conversations – and action – on climate change around her Cardiff office. Continue reading
Yes – I’m adding to the abundance of “new year, new you” blogs. It’d be silly not to, given personal commitments are pretty much our life blood. But I’ll keep it punchy, promise.
Here are three ideas for your new year’s resolutions this year: Continue reading
Over the latter half of 2016 we were busy building a bunch of new features here in the Do HQ – from new Do Actions to online payment.
Here’s a bit more detail… Continue reading
Today sees the launch of four new Do Actions with an interesting twist, developed in partnership with our client Hill + Knowlton.
At first glance, they may look like a sideways leap into an unconnected world of personal development. But here are three reasons why I am excited about how these pledges can contribute to our mission of making sustainable living mainstream: Continue reading
Christmas is racing upon us, and that means one thing: New Year’s resolutions are just around the corner.
As I discussed in our recent webinar (which you can still watch online), New Year’s resolutions create a great opportunity for you to get your colleagues or employees on board with sustainable and purposeful business. People are looking to turn a new leaf for the new year and so are particularly receptive to the idea of making pledges and doing good.
We’re particularly excited to be working with B Corps to help engage staff in this movement and build a bit of friendly competition between the UK B Corp community. We’ve built a leaderboard pitting B Corps against each other: which can make – and complete – most pledges through January?
The winning team will win a year’s supply of tea from Pukka Herbs – now there’s an incentive!
Did you know that over 32 million litres of water are boiled every day in the UK only to go cold again? This year at Pukka we’ve become a certified B Corp – committing as a company to ‘Be the Change we want to see in the world’. With this powerful Ghandi quote at the front of our minds, the Pukka team have signed up with Do Nation, and committed to collectively saving 500,000 cups of tea worth of carbon over the next year through employees’ personal actions.

Alex Fowler has been one of our long standing heros, having earned the title of Doer of the Month for his Great North Swim campaign back in July 2013. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy his passion for change, and so it wasn’t long before he got his company, Siemens, signed up to use Do Nation Pro.
As with more and more of our clients, neither employee engagement nor internal sustainability are in Alex’s job remit, but he simply saw the need for change and took up the mantle.
I caught up with Alex to find out about what it all meant for him.
So you heard the big news? We’re partnering with NUS, allowing universities to use Do Nation neatly alongside their Green Impact programmes. Pretty exciting.
Through creating customised pledge campaigns on our platform, universities can now engage a wider base of staff and students in a really simple, impactful, and measurable way.
Not only that, but you can use it to identify and recruit your next wave of green champions.
Here’s how it works: Continue reading
Do you want to show your staff that you care about your organisation’s environmental impact?
Do you want to help your employees to improve their health and wellbeing?
Are you frustrated by the struggle to encourage colleagues to start recycling, without being labeled as a raging eco-warrior?
Or do you simply want to reduce your organisation’s energy bills and travel costs?
Do Nation is here to help. Continue reading
