BVA Nudge Consulting
BVA Nudge Consulting is a global consultancy that combines Behavioral Science & Sectorial Expertise to drive successful behavior change, build enduring capabilities and deliver measurable results.
Across sectors, countries and business challenges, we’ve shown that behavioral science can change customer, employee and organizational behavior at modest cost to deliver results and positive ROI. Notably, we search for “win-win-win” opportunities, in which behavior changes benefit organizations, their customers or employees and society.
Work Package
WP1, WP6, Wp7, Wp8
To be efficient, new solutions provided for a more sustainable word need to be adopted by populations. This is often a question of behaviour change. While most of us have good intentions and recognize the severity of the climate situation – old habits are hard to break, new habits are difficult to build, and we experience cognitive overload with all the demands of everyday life. So, despite our good intentions, our actions don’t always comply. This is the Intention to Action gap, where Behavioural Science can help and the value the BVA Nudge Consulting provides to the project.
BVA Nudge Consulting will help to optimize the communication, as well as trainings, thanks to behavioural science, amongst 3 targets with 3 different behavior challenges associated:
- CONSUMERS: to involve in new responsible habit e.g. buying local products involved in our value chains (fish, cosmetic, nutraceutics)
- FISH SHOPS: participate to the system, providing their sidestreams and changing fish packing to a sustainable one
- FISHERMEN: adopt sustainable fishing practices.
To do so, BVA Nudge Consulting will apply its NudgeLab process.
