We know that climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world with rising global temperatures, which bring changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions.

By recycling and reusing more waste, and by reducing carbon emissions from our offices, learning venues and vehicles, we will continuously reduce our own carbon footprint. We have embedded sustainable development at both the decision-making and the operational levels within the company.

We have taken steps to reduce our company’s output of carbon emissions and have standardised these efforts, including setting baselines and targets to reduce this in line with the DWP SOGE targets. These targets are monitored for progress each quarter.

We educate and train our staff, and involve learners and stakeholders, in our mission to recycle and reuse waste and to reduce our impact on the environment.
