Sustainability resources for the education sector
Schools and universities represent 36% of total UK public sector building emissions1. Because of this, the education sector has an important role to play in mapping out a greener future to help the UK achieve Net Zero by 2050. We recognise this is a big challenge for some, whilst others have already been taking small steps. Wherever you are on your sustainability journey we are committed to supporting your transition to a greener business model and explore clean growth opportunities.
