We turn intentions into behaviour.

Green Nudges Consulting supports the changemakers of the sustainability transformation in motivating people towards sustainable behaviour. We achieve this by using
behavioral science insights and design principles.

For the sustainability transformation, change processes are necessary on many levels.

Linear Economy

Circular business models

Ownership of products

Sharing Economy

Fossil energy sources

Renewable energy sources

The daily portion of meat

Plant-based diets

The intention is often there.
But behaviour rarely follows intentions.

One reason why the sustainability transformation stalls is the discrepancy between saying and doing.

Intention

gap

behaviour

The population group with the greatest leverage – the mainstream – is aware of climate change. And yet acts far too rarely. This has various reasons that behavioural science can address.

15–20%

Denialists

60–70%

Mainstream

15–20%
