Why Company League?
The Climate Competition Company League is designed for companies to challenge their network peers to create a cross-company championship. Companies love to be challenged as it helps them communicate their sustainable efforts to their commercial partners as well as strengthens their partner relationships.
This solution provides for companies to strengthen their network of suppliers and collaborate with partner companies using the sustainability topic as a base. Companies compete in teams with the goal engaging their employees to reduce their personal their CO2 footprint. The company with the least individual CO2 footprint at the end of the competition wins. The winner is announced to all the participants.

The championship consists of a series of three Climate Challenges, delivered via the Climate Competition platform, provide a fun way to engage people in climate action while building awareness and starting crucial conversations about climate issues.

What did the participants say?
Sustainable Kildare succeeded in mobilising staff in 65 different businesses, who took over 41,000 actions to reduce their impact on the climate. Our climate challenge not only resulted in big savings in CO2 emissions, but also saw unprecedented levels of employee engagement with possible solutions to the climate crisis.
