In addition to the ability to showcase environmental programs on our award-winning website, Celsias Ltd also provides private, online social platforms that help improve staff engagement and corporate responsibility uptake. Allow your workforce to:

• Identify corporate responsibility topics that are important to them
• Set up groups, projects and networks to engage with topics and with one another
• Illustrate and seek expertise to help answer specific business problems
  

Let your workforce tell you what you need to know

A workforce that is excited by the corporate responsibilty topics it's employers are choosing is a workforce that's much more likely to take ownership and deliver results. Celsias's company-branded, private and easy to manage community platforms allow your staff members to decide who takes ownership and who creates and manages content.

About Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility

Celsias helps companies who want to improve the visibility of their sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts.

Research shows that companies that undertake sustainability and CSR programs are perceived more highly by consumers, retain their staff, and attract more new talent than companies who do not engage in sustainability or CSR.

What have other companies achieved with Celsias?

"The objective of the OpenEco site is two-fold and visibility through Celsias has supported both objectives. The objectives are to provide companies and people a way to calculate their Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) and two, to recruit interested developers to create new modules for the OpenEco site. To this end we have hundreds of hits to our project on the Celsias site and have had three developers inquire about becoming part of the project".
Michael Doud, Sun Microsystems, San Francisco

"This is a great initiative. Celsias gives us a platform to share our passion and commitment to looking after the planet. As the site says, ‘Climate change is not a spectator sport’ - we’re definitely not standing on the sidelines and we would encourage more companies to do the same".
Mike Pollok, Ricoh, Auckland

"Thanks to your support in the projects section at Celsias, we have managed to raise over 1900 nominations for inspiring tourism ventures all over the world that are making a real difference to local communities and the environment".
Alexander Lyons, Virgin Group's Responsible Tourism Awards 2008, London

No. Unlike traditional marketing, Celsias encourages transparency and two-way dialogue to ensure integrity. Celsias users can contact project leaders, ask questions about projects and challenge assertions. Companies that add projects on Celsias need to be confident that their efforts to combat climate change and protect the environment are genuine.

Could there be an effort to smear a company or project on Celsias?

Again, no, as Celsias editors moderate the site and inappropriate comments are not published. However, genuine, thought-provoking comments, whether supporting or challenging a project, will be published and it is up to the project leaders and companies to respond to these.

Are all companies eligible to create or sponsor projects on Celsias?

We are unlikely to disallow any particular type of company provided it is seen to be making a genuine effort to change its culture and actions around climate change.
