“The world of work is being reshaped by AI and digital innovation at a pace that demands a fundamentally new approach to learning. Organizations need more than content – they need experiences that shift mindsets, build capabilities, and embed new behaviors across their entire workforce. That is exactly what we have built Ludic and SmartLab to do.”

— Paul Ashcroft, Co-Founder, Ludic Group and SmartLab

Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst highlighted Ludic’s integrated approach—combining strategic consulting, proven methodology, and platform capability—as a key differentiator in a market where organizations need full-solution partners, not just technology.

‍

“The need for effective workforce development has never been more critical. Ludic combines a sophisticated platform capability, proven methodology and high-class consulting, enabling organizations to guide workforces through complex change. Their growth and innovation continue to place them as a Strategic Leader.”

‍

One of the first launches is SmartLab Leaders, developed with Nina Bressler of Reimagined Value, helping organizations build the leadership capabilities needed to navigate constant change.

‍

“What we hear consistently from our clients is that the challenges they face are no longer just about skills gaps; they are about how to transform the way their organizations learn, adapt, and perform. SmartLab Programs lets us meet organizations where they are and give them the tools to move forward, faster.”

— Georg Seiler, Commercial Director, Ludic Group

‍

“SmartLab is one of the most modular, scalable, and agile solutions I have encountered. It allowed us to digitize the essence of our work without flattening it into passive content. We used to see a fade-out once people returned to delivery pressure after a workshop—SmartLab changed that by keeping learning alive in the flow of work.”

As a forward-thinking company, we understand that every decision we make has an impact. From the way we operate to the solutions we create; we are dedicated to minimizing our footprint and maximizing positive change.

People & Culture – We promote a work environment that values ethical responsibility, well-being, and inclusivity.

Planet – We strive to reduce waste, lower our carbon footprint, and integrate sustainable practices into our operations.

Progress – We design innovative solutions that help businesses become more sustainable and future-ready.

Our Commitment

We are continuously exploring new ways to improve—from our processes to the partners we collaborate with. By embedding sustainability into our core values, we ensure that our impact is not only meaningful but also lasting.

Sustainability isn’t just important to us—it’s essential to the way we work, create, and grow.

The How

To monitor our progress in this area we submit to Ecovadis and CDP on an annual basis along with calculating our Carbon Footprint in order to set targets for improvement.

CDP

A CDP score is a snapshot of a company’s performance on environmental action. Bold environmental action must begin with an accurate, transparent assessment of environmental impact and progress, which CDP scoring makes possible. Our scores show organizations and their stakeholders where they are on the road towards operating in line with a 1.5-degree, deforestation-free and water-secure future. By disclosing over consecutive years, we can understand the trajectory of our environmental journey.

This year we received a C- Climate score. For an SME that is a fantastic place to build from. The highest SME score in 2024 is an SME B and will work to reach that for our next submission.

Ecovadis

Ecovadis is a third-party platform that assesses a company’s sustainability performance. It helps companies improve their environmental and social practices.  EcoVadis compares the company’s performance to other rated companies in its database.

We are proud to have been awarded a Gold Medal this year, putting us in the top 5% of those scored.

Carbon Footprint

We are about to get to work calculating our Carbon Footprint for 2024, this being our third year of collecting data.  In 2023, our carbon footprint was 18,213.49 kg CO2 this was down from 19.48 in 2022. For context, this corresponds to the carbon footprint of two Europeans.  This is fantastic progress, and we will continue to work on reducing this where possible.

Climate Project

We compensated for our carbon footprint by contributing to a social project.  In 2024, we supported The Plastic Bank who are tackling ocean-bound plastics, whilst empowering local communities.

Every minute, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic enters the ocean. It is a serious issue requiring urgent action. The Plastic Bank project aims to catch plastic waste before it reaches the ocean by supporting local communities to collect plastic in exchange for additional income and life-changing benefits. As a result, the project has a positive impact on society as well as the environment.

How does it work exactly? Plastic collection points are established in coastal areas particularly affected by plastic pollution and poverty. At the same time, the project empowers local people, often living in poverty, to become members and collect plastic before it can enter the ocean. At the collection branches, members can exchange the collected plastic for money or benefits such as health, work, or life insurance, grocery vouchers, or school supplies. The collected plastic is cleaned, sorted, and recycled into Social Plastic® – feedstock that is reprocessed and reintegrated into products and packaging, creating a circular economy.

Currently, the project is active in six countries: Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, and the Philippines, with license-based expansion in Cameroon and Thailand.

Our contribution has helped The Plastic Bank to remove 4,178,474kg of plastic removed from the ocean with almost 27,000 active plastic collectors, offering work insurance and health insurance to thousands of people in Brazil, Cameroon, Indonesia, Egypt, the Philippines, and Thailand.

We have also supported a tree planting organisation, planting organisation here in the UK.  For every tonne of CO2 saved one tree is planted.

Ludic has been in the forefront of disrupting the current ways of working and learning with new, transformative approaches”, said Garrick Jones, Ludic’s Founding Partner.

“We’re delighted that our position is enhanced in the digital learning space and we are recognised as a Core Leader in the 2020 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Digital Learning. We continuously invest in our experience platform SmartLab and are proud to be delivering impactful digital solutions at global scale” said Paul Ashcroft, Ludic’s Founding Partner.

In the past year, our partner network has significantly expanded and SmartLab is now used also as a platform for empowering other consulting and learning organisations of all sizes to reach a global audience with a common platform, tools and templates.

“Our platform serves as a Learning Experience Platform as well as a Learning Management Platform, enabling the creation and distribution of highly personalised, interactive and media rich learning to cater for the learning consumers’ needs. Our experienced team of visionaries, designers and developers continuously advance our sophisticated decision-making, collaboration, engagement and learning platform; and our recognition not only on the Fosway 9-Grid™ for Digital Learning but also on the 9-Grid™ for Learning Systems is a testament to these efforts,” said Ludic’s Director of Digital, Clemens Hackl.

SmartLab’s current feature highlights include impactful coaching and virtual classroom management tools, easy simultaneous delivery of training programmes to different communities within an organisation, live collaboration and decision-making tools, gamification and personalisation to fit the learners’ needs and learning styles, achieving effective learning in the flow of work. It also allows to engage global audiences through dynamic virtual workshops that generate powerful data.

Our ambitious plans going forward, focus on AI integration, chat bots, virtual assistants, workflow management, built-in video conference capability and much more.

Whether it is a mindset shift and delivery of multiple cohort waves of capability building programmes, a performance management solution, establishing new, digital and agile ways of working, raising digital awareness or used as a digital tool for strategic alignment and decision-making, SmartLab is an innovative digital platform delivering ground-breaking solutions both in quality and scale of delivery.

Ludic remains committed to the continuous improvement of our solutions, technology and content, staying true to our ambition to enabling people to transform the way they live, work and learn.
