Combining sustainability with sports activity

Preparations

In line with CFE's motto “Together we go green”, we combined sustainability activities with sports activities in the Activy app. We wanted to bring together sporty fun and a charitable cause.

As an extra reward for the overall winners, we let them choose where the money would go. That was certainly an additional motivation to get going.

The company set up a separate internal communication channel where all the information about the challenge was posted. Thanks to this, employees could bond as a team even though they work in different locations every day.

The challenge

CFE employees competed in teams representing their locations. Building teams this way brought participants much closer together.

The competition was split into two-week editions, with prizes to win after each one. The shorter editions turned out to be a great idea: they mobilized employees to be more active, as they kept following the results and estimating whether they had a chance to win. 

Streak points also worked well, letting employees of different fitness levels compete with each other.

There was also an extra photo contest: participants posted pictures of their activities and won prizes. It strengthened the sense of connection and being together despite the distance.

Results

Everyone found something for themselves in the challenge. Some wanted to get back in shape after an illness, others to improve their fitness. For those who were active every day, the points and competition motivated them to do even more. There were also employees whom the challenge got off the couch.  

The “CFE Active Challenge” went very well, and the charity goal of PLN 35,000 was reached thanks to the huge commitment of all employees!
