At VLCM, we’re always thinking of new ways to empower our members. In this video, we discuss how anyone can make a difference in the workplace as a vegan and explain how to avoid common pitfalls and setbacks. Even better, you can boost your confidence and awareness on this issue by checking out the handouts linked below.

Watch for more info on:

• How to choose one practical vegan change to propose at work.

• Quick homework tips for planning and knowing who/what to ask.

• Why direct, face-to-face requests are so effective—and exactly how to make them.

• What to do if you get a “no,” including listening, asking questions, and keeping the door open.

You’re not alone. Organizations around the world—from Google and Lidl to national governments—are making big shifts toward plant-based foods, often led by employee initiatives like yours. These changes are not only better for the planet (as backed by the scientific handouts), but also improve employee health and inclusivity, and even make good business sense.

Start the conversation today, and watch your influence—and your confidence—grow with every small step forward.
