English term or phrase: different to culture
The work climate is a measure of what if feels like to work in  a particular area of the company. Climate is different to culture in that it is local (like the wheather) and is directly influenced by the competencies  and style of the local leader.

diferente de cultura
Explanation:
Clima (organizacional) é diferente de cultura.

Both prepositions (to and from) are correct and have the same meaning.

[Q] From Allan Paris; similar questions came from Martin Murray and David L Smith: “In issue 501 of World Wide Words, you say ‘the Sun was very different to the others’. In the United States, different usually takes from, not to. Is there a difference in usage between the US and the UK? Would you please give me guidelines how to select the appropriate preposition after different?”

[A] Yes, the UK is often different to the USA in this respect. That is the quick answer, but a rather longer one is needed to cover the topic in anything like completeness.

Climate is different to culture
O ambiente e a cultura são diferentes


Explanation:
Izabel, o problema e' que "differente to" e' errado - não existe. O correto e' "different from" (embora tem muita gente que diz "different than" - mas isto tambem e' errado).

Ta' simplesmente dizendo que uma empresa pode ter uma cultura compartida entre todos os escritorios e areas funcionais, mas cada area ou local pode ter um ambiente individualizada.
