Changing behaviour

Making change permanent

Genuine sustainability will never come solely through legislation and corporate directives. It requires a step-change in behaviour, one that makes conserving resources the default position for communities, consumers and businesses.

We can work closely with you to develop services and products that are both relevant and easily accessible. However, even a change in attitude does not automatically lead to a change in behaviour - help will be needed to break those old habits.

With that in mind we can offer a range of specific services that have been proven to help achieve this behavioural change. These include:

• Research services to assess current attitudes and behaviours.

• Communication and school education services to inform, educate and persuade

• Technical consultancy services to develop and deliver relevant, accessible services
   and products.

Of course incentives can be sticks or carrots. But our experience has taught us how to target different groups in different circumstances to ensure the very best results.

Resource Futures' cross-discipline working means we can ensure you find the right mix to change attitudes and achieve the behavioural change you are aiming for.
