With growing focus of sustainability efforts in the UK’s education sector, our goal is to help schools become leaders in sustainability and drive meaningful change for future generations.
We have developed the Sustainable Schools Model (SSM), which takes a holistic approach to assessing and improving school governance, helping to build a culture that prioritises sustainability. Our aim is to future-proof sustainability efforts across environmental and social issues, using governance and sustainable procurement as levers for change.
Our model has been developed to assess where you are against best practice and is proportionate to the size and impact of your organisation.
Our Sustainable Schools Model (SSM) aligns with DfE strategy action areas and is designed to evaluate and enhance school governance and processes.
Here’s how:
• Reporting on emissions and climate action plans is supported through or Carbon Reduction Plan service.
• Prioritising sustainable procurement choices is achieved through our Sustainability and Procurement Shared Services partnership.
• Upskilling staff to improve awareness of sustainability and procurement is delivered through our CPD accredited blended learning and in-person training.
Our Sustainable Schools Model drives sustainability improvements by viewing your school’s performance as a whole.
We will work with you to expand knowledge and awareness of key subject areas such as – improving social impact, reducing carbon emissions, the importance of sourcing locally, waste reduction etc.
Did you know the sustainability and climate change strategy for education confirms that within the next year, your school must have a sustainability lead and a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in place?
