Behaviour Change
Creating behaviour change for social good is at the heart of
social marketing. It does this through the use of marketing theories and
techniques to influence individual behaviour. An effective social marketing
program will multiply the impact of any sustainability initiative tenfold as it
harnesses the free will and collective strength of an entire workforce, and an
organization’s suppliers and customers, to make change for good. When an
organization purchases fuel efficient equipment, installs a green roof or
underwrites a bike sharing system to reduce the carbon footprint these are
non-behavioural mechanisms. When the organization’s employees voluntarily turn
down the thermostat, cycle to work or constantly monitor the operating
performance of their equipment – these are behavioural solutions.
