How we can help

Action Sustainability is at the forefront of driving sustainable practices within the education sector. We collaborate with educational institutions to navigate regulatory requirements and achieve ambitious environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

Our comprehensive solutions enhance sustainability across campuses, from energy efficiency initiatives to waste reduction programmes and sustainable procurement practices.

By promoting environmental stewardship and empowering students, educators, and administrators to embrace sustainable practices, we shape a brighter future for education.

Join us in leading the way towards educational excellence that integrates sustainability seamlessly into learning environments and prepares future generations to thrive in a sustainable world.

“Responsible Procurement is not a bolt-on, it is well integrated within LUPC and all we do, it is our USP. The re-evaluation affirmed our thinking that we have continued to grow and push the boundaries in supply chain sustainability due diligence. We are very much aligned with the continuous improvement principle of ISO 20400 and are looking forward to planning the next phase of our journey to develop our supply chain.”

“At Falmouth Exeter Plus, there is a strong organisational focus on sustainability and it forms a big part of our agenda with formal leadership commitment. We invited Action Sustainability to undertake a Sustainable Procurement Gap Analysis to identify what we are doing well, where the gaps lie and what we need to invest in and work on to ensure a robust ‘Golden Thread’ methodology for embedding sustainability in our categories and wider organisation. The report provided examples of industry best practice, useful insights, and showed us how to go about using existing processes, policies, and resources to bring our sustainable supply chain strategy to life. I have started training/upskilling myself by attending the CIPS Sustainable Procurement workshop over 2 days run by Mellita and look forward to using the tools and resources provided to further embed sustainability into our organisation.”
