Our Sustainable Ethos

 

Sustainability is the responsibility of everyone, every day. Our people, teaching team, customers, suppliers and contractors work together to tackle sustainability, compliance, ethics and environmental responsibility.

We believe that responsible leadership means taking care of our environment and society for the long term.

Therefore, we are fully committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities and services – such as waste, carbon and water management, recycling and food sourcing – by meeting all legislative, regulatory and legal requirements and preventing pollution.

The team supports the measuring of sustainability KPIs to track, manage, control and continually improve the sustainability level across our business. Each department is also committed to sourcing and purchasing environmentally responsible products and services.

The hard work carried out by our team helped us to achieve Gold accreditation by Green Tourism and IACC Green Star certification.
