Workplaces can support and motivate tangible shifts in their employees’ and customers’ lifestyles towards sustainability. These efforts target those working with companies, organizations and individuals who are open and willing to adopt sustainable lifestyles practices but need some help or guidance along the way. Companies can incentivize employees and customers to adopt sustainable ways of eating, moving, consuming, living and engaging in leisure activities, and demonstrate these actions at work. The set of actions presented in this report can support employees and customers to enhance sustainability in their daily lives. The actions have been prioritized because they are more effective at reducing the ecological footprint. Based on ecological and carbon footprint data, we can identify priority lifestyles areas that contribute to ecological impacts such as reducing wasted food or shifting transportation modes. For the highest impacts, link options together, build on existing activities, and partner with others.

A “sustainable lifestyle” is a cluster of habits and patterns of behaviour embedded in society and facilitated by institutions, norms and infrastructures that frame individual choice, in order to minimize the use of natural resources and generation of wastes, while supporting fairness and prosperity for all. This guidance will help policymakers, individuals and other stakeholders understand what a holistic approach to lifestyle means and how different contexts require different lifestyle solutions. It does not set out to define what "the" sustainable lifestyle looks like. Instead, it can help guide a range of initiatives that enable lifestyle choices that contribute to sustainability
