Focussed team meeting

Looking for opportunities to make your workplace healthier and happier while helping the planet? Try the Veganuary Workplace Challenge!

What is the Workplace Challenge?

The Veganuary Workplace Challenge is a 31-day challenge that encourages your workforce to try vegan for the month of January.

It’s a simple ask: staff challenge themselves to try a plant-based diet for one month, with a huge payoff!

You’ll receive free resources including easy meal plans, ready-to-go communication templates, and a step-by-step guide to coordinating a successful Workplace Challenge.

Hundreds of organizations around the world – including Mars Food Europe, Aveda, EY, PwC, Verizon, Lam Research, Stanford Health, and City of San Antonio, TX – have taken part in the
Veganuary Workplace Challenge.

Why take part?

Plant-based diets have proven health benefits, including increased energy levels, lower cholesterol levels, and lower blood pressure.

Some of the benefits of encouraging your team to take part include:

  • Promotes health and well-being among staff
  • Helps reduce your business’s food-related environmental footprint
  • Creates a fun shared experience for effective team building
  • Takes advantage of great PR opportunities if you’d like to get involved publicly
