Sustainability is rapidly evolving into a fundamental education/business norm and conventional procedure. It transcends mere altruism and represents a tangible organisation imperative. Investing in sustainability not only safeguards our planet, but also serves as a compelling organisational strategy.
By embracing sustainability, organisations can exemplify leadership and dedication to a secure and sustainable future for all. Schools and colleges play key roles in building a more sustainable future. We have seen that schools are responsible for around 2% of all UK GHG emissions, so looking at ways in which an organisations digital strategy/digital transformation can help to reduce this percentage is key to strive for Net Zero.
Technology companies are already playing their part and the DfE have also set out clear guidelines for education/schools. The aim is for the UK to be the world-leading education sector in sustainability and climate change by 2030. Senior Leaders, are at the forefront in driving both the DfE and your own educational strategies forward for your organisation – physically, technologically and inspiring staff and students to become leaders in sustainable approaches/practices for teaching and learning, educating ‘global citizens for sustainable development’. Raising awareness both inside and outside of the classroom.
