Providing young people with the opportunity to manage their own environmental impact and reduce carbon emissions at their school.
The biggest impact of climate change is going to be felt by the younger generations. We want to inspire children to understand and act on climate change.
That’s why in 2017, we launched the Carbon Credentials Schools Project, with the aim of donating our time and expertise to a UK school and its students to reduce the school’s carbon emissions and cut its energy costs.
In August 2017 we partnered with Hayes School, a mixed comprehensive based in the London Borough of Bromley, which one of our own employees attended.
The objective was to provide the school with a selection of our services to give them the tools and knowledge to manage and reduce their own environmental impact.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with and benefiting from the expertise of the team at Carbon Credentials. We recognise that being environmentally responsible starts at school and in childhood. We hope that the conversations we have started in school will have continued at home and will establish lifelong habits and attitudes for our young people. We have made both small and significant changes to student and staff behaviours in school and are focussed on looking at as many areas of our business as possible to bring about carbon reductions. Our students have gained from the project, developing specialist knowledge and benefiting from opportunities. Thank you to all the team for their support, enthusiasm and ideas.”
