Resources for Colleges

Sustainability teams in colleges operate in often difficult circumstances, with severe limitations on time, resources and budget. In recognition of the important role that colleges play in furthering the sustainability agenda, EAUC has created a range of support services specifically for colleges. We are ensuring that our broader membership offer is valuable to colleges and provides them with the support they need to achieve their sustainability ambitions.

• FE Governance Toolkit - a whole institution approach to climate action
• Net-Zero and Skills for FE Colleges - a project with 20 colleges in London
• Carbon Reporting & FREE SECR Tool - Colleges in England report through the SECR. EAUC Members can now access a tool to calculate your supply chain emissions.
