KPMG Ireland doubles employees waste knowledge

In Dec 2023, we piloted our Office Waste-Management game with employees at KPMG Ireland as part of their “Conscious Christmas” campaign and to support the introduction of their new bins system.

Two purple infographic boxes with white icons and text. The first box shows a head with a plant icon and states "Average of +100% increase in waste knowledge." The second box displays a thumbs up and smiley face icon with the text "Players engaged for an average of 3min8sec per session."

Impact

We know it can be difficult to get people on board with sustainability, and even more difficult to measure the impact your campaigns are having. We have worked closely with our clients to help them expand their impact and reach.
