EVENT DETAILS

This informative session will equip you with the knowledge to reduce your emissions and ensure you're up to date on issues affecting the education sector. Watch now.

The education sector has a vital role to play in the response to climate change. Inspiring action, reducing emissions, and meeting legislative targets are essential aspects of this responsibility. 

Implementing a solid sustainability strategy offers numerous benefits, from fostering a more engaged and motivated staff and student body, to contributing to collective innovation and impact. We also know that the economic incentives for reducing carbon emissions are compelling. 

Feeding into the UK government’s Net Zero Strategy, the Department of Education advises that schools appoint a sustainability lead and establish a climate action plan by 2025.  

To help you navigate this landscape, Planet Mark’s Sustainable Business Manager, Cassie Bell, and Senior Engagement Manager, Hannah Dean-Wood host this one-hour webinar where you will: 

  • Gain an understanding of sustainability and the importance of measuring your school’s carbon footprint 
  • Explore the details  of emissions reductions and how net zero legislation will affect your organisation 
  • Hear a real-life case study from Paul Edmond, Chief Finance and Sustainability Officer for the HEART Academies Trust 
  • Discover the benefits of reducing your carbon emissions and engaging your staff and students in the transition to net zero 
  • Learn how to develop a robust sustainability strategy and gain the support of your leadership team and governors

 

Watch this informative session now and ensure your school is on track for a net zero future.
