What is behavioural science?

Many of our daily activities are driven by habitual, unconscious behaviours, but they all contribute to our carbon footprint.

Applying behavioural science best practice to our products can increase the effectiveness and impact of people taking action.

Our 5 Guiding
Principles

/1 Increasing retention

Behaviour change takes time and consistent effort. We need to engage and retain our users throughout their sustainability journey.

/2 Improving carbon literacy

Low carbon literacy is the biggest cause of the intention-action gap. We focus on educating our users about their carbon footprint.

/3 Delivering a personal experience

We meet users where they are on their sustainability journeys, recognise their efforts and use data to create a bespoke experience.

/4 Setting realistic goals

Net-zero is not a realistic target for anyone. We focus on setting personal carbon budgets. So users feel inspired and challenged, not demotivated.

/5 Nudging users

We nudge our users about sustainable actions they could take. And we use incentives and rewards to motivate people.
