In the face of environmental challenges, more and more companies want to engage their employees. But how should they go about it? Fun activity or structured training—each format has its strengths. We help you choose the right one based on your CSR goals and level of commitment.
Faced with the climate emergency and growing employee expectations, more and more companies are integrating environmental awareness initiatives into their CSR strategy. But where to start? Which format should you choose to engage your teams in the ecological transition? At Act! with Surfrider, we offer two complementary approaches: fun and engaging awareness activities, and structured, certified environmental training. Let’s help you make an informed decision.
Awareness Activities : learning by Doing
Environmental awareness activities are ideal for sparking collective awareness through short, friendly, and participatory formats. They help create team dynamics while introducing key concepts related to ecology, plastic pollution, and climate.
Examples of activities offered by Act! with Surfrider:
These eco-friendly activities fit perfectly into CSR team-building sessions or sustainable company seminars, and are designed to foster dialogue, cohesion, and a first level of environmental understanding.
Environmental Training : deepening Knowledge for long-term Impact
To go further in employee engagement, training remains a powerful lever. At Act! with Surfrider, we offer in-person environmental training, led by experts, interactive, practical, and tailored to corporate challenges.

Each session can be customized to your needs, from a one-day session to a year-long learning pathway, including practical activities and theoretical modules.
