Make your Workplace Sugar Smart

All businesses, large or small, can get involved and help their staff become Sugar Smart. Pledges can be as simple as putting up posters or challenging colleagues to give up sugary drinks for a week, or you could use advertising posters to promote healthier food and drink in your canteen or vending machines.

You can find lots of ideas and resources on these webpages. Remember to tell us what pledges you are making, and let us know how we can help your business become Sugar Smart.

Here are some resources that could help you to put your pledges in place:
