Get a head start and offer your staff a workshop - face-to-face or online - to create their own cosmetics or household products and become a forerunner of "zero waste" at home and at the office!
the DIY workshop for companies in 3 key points
The DIY workshop is fully adaptable to your company’s needs: duration, theme, format, and location. Whether it's part of a CSR awareness campaign, seminar, or sustainability week, we tailor the workshop to fit. It can be integrated into a broader CSR learning program on water, waste, or climate issues, to reinforce long-term engagement.
All materials and ingredients are provided. For remote sessions, we offer shipped kits or shopping lists. Each session is led by a Surfrider Foundation Europe expert who guides participants step by step.
You can choose which products to make, based on your goals: employee well-being, zero waste, plastic reduction, natural and healthy ingredients, or workplace wellness (QVCT). The workshop is lively, hands-on, and action-oriented.
The DIY corporate workshop lets participants create everyday eco-products: natural cosmetics, household cleaners, and reusable items. By making their own solid shampoo, soap, or beeswax wraps, employees actively and enjoyably engage in the ecological transition.
This format fits seamlessly into our corporate awareness offer, alongside collaborative murals, the Solutions Game, and educational stands.
Examples of DIY creations in our corporate workshops
For in-person sessions, we come directly to your premises or host the event in one of our partner venues (Paris or Biarritz). We provide everything: ingredients, tools, materials, and a facilitator. For remote sessions, we handle kit delivery or send a shopping list. We also manage the video call, flow of the session, and coordination.
For a comprehensive program that includes DIY workshops, explore our full range of environmental training sessions.
Each participant leaves with a useful everyday item (soap, toothpaste, tote bag, etc.) and a recipe card to recreate it at home. These items replace disposable or polluting products, helping reduce environmental impact. The workshop encourages awareness and inspires daily action. It promotes the value of doing it yourself and highlights the simplicity and effectiveness of natural alternatives.
Workshops can host 10 to 30 people, either in person or remotely. Short formats (45 minutes to 2 hours) are ideal for quick awareness sessions. Longer formats allow participants to create multiple products and dive deeper into the sustainability messages.
Our workshops can easily be integrated into your internal events: team-building days, sustainability weeks, or custom annual CSR programs.
The DIY workshop aligns perfectly with your workplace quality of life and working conditions (QVCT) initiatives. It offers a calming, hands-on, and useful activity. By creating their own healthy, eco-friendly products, participants reduce exposure to the chemical substances found in many commercial items.
The workshop also supports mental well-being through a playful, non-competitive approach that encourages relaxation and focus. This break from the usual work environment helps boost motivation and satisfaction, while giving deeper meaning to your well-being and sustainability programs.
Taking part in a DIY workshop empowers employees to move from awareness to action. Each person leaves with the products they created, along with practical knowledge they can apply at home or at work.
This tangible link between learning, doing, and engaging helps reinforce everyone’s role in the ecological transition. The DIY workshop becomes a powerful driver of collective engagement, fully aligned with your company’s CSR goals and employees’ growing expectations for meaningful, values-driven work.
