The INDUCE project is developed a capacity building programme for companies in the food and beverage sector who want to improve their energy performance. It created ad-hoc trainings adapted to the company’s needs and potential. The developed toolkit consists of training material, online lessons, guidelines, and tools. The INDUCE methodology links knowledge transfer on energy efficiency with behavioural and organisational change models, so an energy culture and awareness are established in the company, while employees are motivated to act in a more sustainable manner.

The INDUCE methodology links knowledge transfer on energy efficiency with behavioural and organisational change models, so an energy culture and awareness are established in the company, while employees are motivated to act in a more sustainable manner. Unique is the Human-Centered Design approach, in which every phase was conducted in close cooperation with the end-users. The INDUCE methodology and toolkit were tested and validated in 15 pilot companies from the food and beverage sector in Spain, France, the Netherlands and Germany. This enabled INDUCE to interact with the companies to select the best interventions, measures, etc.. In a second step, the INDUCE community of trainers was established by certifying 60 trainers, in charge of implementing the INDUCE methodology in companies, hence increasing INDUCE’s impact.
