Workplace Challenge

Want to make your business or workplace healthier, happier and help the planet? The Veganuary Workplace Challenge is a fun way to do all of this and more!

What is the Workplace Challenge?

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

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

You’ll receive lots of free support, access to meal plans, special offers and resources to support you along the way.

Collectively taking part in Veganuary is great for team morale and unites everyone in a shared experience and challenge.

In January 2024, 300 organisations worldwide took part in the Veganuary Workplace Challenge, encouraging their employees to try vegan in January and providing more vegan options in the workplace.

In many cases, leading by example, CEOs and other senior executives and team leaders take part too!

Why Take Part?

Plant-based diets have proven health benefits, including increased energy levels (good for productivity), lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure.

It’s the most environmentally friendly diet too. It has been calculated that for every one million people eating plant-based for a month will save 6.2 million litres of water, 3.4 million animals from a lifetime of suffering, and the CO2 equivalent of 1.2 million flights from London to Paris.

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

• Promotes health and well-being amongst staff
• Shows that your business is doing its bit for the environment
• Creates a fun challenge for staff to participate in
• Takes advantage of great PR opportunities if you’d like to get involved publicly
