🏅 Incentivization Strategy
A strong incentivization strategy uses a mix of recognition, learning, and tangible rewards to keep engagement high, regardless of the industry segment.
1. Recognition and Visibility (Highest Impact)
- PMI Sustainability Champion Certificate: A formal certificate and badge awarded to participants achieving a score above 80 points.
- "Impact Leaderboard": Publish the ranked scores (individual and/or team) on the PMI Gujarat Chapter's website and social media.
- Case Study Feature: Showcase the top achiever's story (e.g., "How an IT Professional Saved 5 KG of E-Waste") in the chapter newsletter or at chapter events.
- Chapter Felicitation: Public recognition and trophy/plaque awarded during a major chapter event (e.g., Chapter Meeting or Conference).
2. Learning and Development (Value Addition)
- Free PDU-Eligible Webinar: Offer a free session (e.g., on Green Project Management, Sustainable Business Practices, or UN SDGs) to participants who achieve a score above 50 points.
- Exclusive Resource Access: Grant access to a curated library of sustainable project management tools, articles, or templates.
3. Tangible Rewards (Engagement Driver)
-
Tiered Gift Vouchers:
- Gold Tier (Top 3): Vouchers for sustainable products, local plant nurseries, or eco-friendly services.
- Silver Tier (Next 5%): Customized, reusable merchandise featuring the PMI chapter and initiative logo (e.g., metal water bottles, bamboo cutlery sets).
- Incentive Drawing: Enter all participants who score above a minimum threshold (e.g., 20 points) into a raffle for a single high-value item, like a quality bicycle or an annual subscription to a sustainable service.
Scoring System – How Your Impact is Measured
The scoring model is simple to understand, easy to communicate, and fair across different kinds of actions. Each metric has a point-per-unit value based on environmental impact and effort. These are then converted into a standardized 0–100 score.
1. Points per Unit
| Metric | Unit | Environmental Impact Factor | Points per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Reduction | 1 kWh Saved | High | 3 points / kWh |
| Sustainable Transport | 1 KM Carpooled / Biked / Walked | Medium | 1 point / KM |
| Water Conservation | 100 Litres Saved | Medium | 2 points / 100 L |
| Responsible Waste Management | 1 KG E-waste / Recyclables | Very High | 5 points / KG |
| Reusable Item Use | 1 Reusable Use | Low / Medium | 1 point / use |
If you log units Ui for metric i, and each unit earns Pi points, then your raw sustainability score for the period is:
STotal = Σ ( Ui × Pi ) for i = 1 … 5
Example (1 month):
- 15 kWh saved → 15 × 3 = 45 points
- 120 KM carpooled → 120 × 1 = 120 points
- 500 L water saved → (500 / 100) × 2 = 10 points
- 2.5 KG e-waste → 2.5 × 5 = 12.5 points
- 40 reusable uses → 40 × 1 = 40 points
Total Raw Score: 45 + 120 + 10 + 12.5 + 40 = 227.5 points
2. Standardized 100-Point Mechanism
To make scores comparable across industries and company sizes, each metric is also mapped to a 0–100 scale with predefined weights. The maximum achievable score is 100.
| Metric | Aligned UN SDGs | Impact Weighting | Points Allocated (out of 100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Consumption Reduction | SDG 7, 13 | High | 25 |
| Sustainable Transportation | SDG 11, 13 | Medium | 20 |
| Water Conservation | SDG 6 | Medium | 15 |
| Responsible Waste Management | SDG 12 | Very High | 30 |
| Sustainable Consumption & Procurement | SDG 12, 14, 15 | Low / Medium | 10 |
For each metric i, if you achieve a total of UAchieved units against a challenge target of UTarget Max, your normalized score for that metric is:
Si = PAllocated × min( 1, UAchieved / UTarget Max )
3. 30-Day Challenge Targets
For a typical 30-day challenge, the following targets are used to earn the full allocated points:
| Metric | Unit | Target Max (30 Days) | Points at Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Reduction | kWh Saved | 20 kWh | 25 points |
| Sustainable Transport | KM Carpooled / Biked / Walked | 150 KM | 20 points |
| Water Conservation | Litres Saved | 5,000 L | 15 points |
| Responsible Waste Management | KG E-waste / Recyclables | 5 KG | 30 points |
| Sustainable Consumption & Procurement | # of Reusable Uses | 60 uses | 10 points |
Example: if you save 10 kWh in a month, then for Energy Reduction:
S₁ = 25 × min(1, 10 / 20) = 25 × 0.5 = 12.5 points.
4. System Requirements for Implementation
- Standardized reporting: ambassadors log units through this portal at agreed frequency.
- Verification: high-impact entries (energy/water) can include bill snapshots or short notes.
- Baseline definition: reductions are measured against a baseline (previous month or typical use).
- Incentivization: scores feed the leaderboard, certificates and recognition programs.
