Beyond the Bills: A Values-Based approach to creating Sustainable organisational change

A presentation by Jane Glenzinska of Brighton Peace and Environment Centre with Chris Bland of Grace Eyre Foundation followed by networking over a free buffet lunch.

Brighton Peace and Environment Centre has recently completed a city-wide sustainable behaviour change project which was commissioned by Brighton and Hove City Council to create practical interventions in support of their Sustainability Action Plan.

The business strand of the project focused on a sustainability training programme with 10 employees of the Grace Eyre Foundation, one of Brighton’s oldest charities with 250 members of staff.

The design, delivery and assessment of this work was done in collaboration with The Values and Sustainability Research Group from University of Brighton with a focus on measuring values-based indicators of behaviour change.

We combined this values-based approach with the award winning Carbon Conversations behaviour change initiative for an innovative and highly successful approach to creating organisational change.

Jane Glenzinska is a freelance sustainability consultant/ Carbon Conversations facilitator/ Research consultant and Environmental Educator. With a background in human-centred counselling psychology, Ecopsychology and Human Ecology, Jane specialises in individual and organisational behaviour change that stems from experiential learning and shifts in core values.The focus of her interventions lies in deep frame explorations of intrinsic values and holistic considerations of personal and global sustainability through relational and participatory methodologies.

Air pollution is a big issue in the UK, particularly for those of us living in cities. Poor air quality has been found to reduce life expectancy by up to 8 months, costing the NHS up to £20 billion a year. Air pollutions levels, specifically Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), have continued to exceed EU standards for a number of roads in Brighton.

Air pollution even at low levels exacerbates the symptoms of underlying illnesses such as respiratory disease and asthma and levels of air pollution in Brighton are unacceptable.

That's why BPEC is working with Argyll Environmental to increase awareness and tackle this important issue. Breathe in Brighton is our campaign, aimed at promoting sustainable forms of transport that reduce pollution. We want to encourage local people to use public transport and to cycle as much as they can. Engaging with the Council we want to make cycling safer in Brighton & Hove.
