What We Do
Employee Engagement
Partnering with companies to engage employees through environmental education and hands-on volunteer experiences connected to conservation and community impact.
Crucial for Business and the Environment
Engaging employees in environmental learning and service benefits both organizations and communities. NEEF works with companies to design engagement opportunities that build employee connection, support environmental education, and contribute to meaningful conservation efforts. These experiences help organizations involve their workforce in work that is visible, credible, and grounded in real environmental needs.
NEEF collaborates with companies to create employee engagement opportunities that align with organizational priorities, strengthen community connections, and support environmental education and conservation work.
Research and Partnerships
NEEF’s approach to employee engagement is informed by research, partnerships, and real-world experience designing environmental education and volunteer programs with companies. We collaborate with industry leaders including International Paper, 3M, Kimberly-Clark, and Intel, as well as partners such as GreenBiz, to share insights, develop best practices, and highlight real-world case studies that show how companies are integrating environmental engagement into their culture.
