diferente de cultura
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.

O ambiente e a cultura são diferentes
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.
