Education

The need for accurate ESG reporting impacts every industry and the education sector is no exception. Educational institutions and awarding bodies must ensure they are meeting sustainability and ethical standards within their buildings and workforce, and keep their environmental impact as low as possible. This can include addressing their environmental footprint through measures such as retrofitting buildings to improve energy efficiency, or appointing an ESG officer to prevent conflicts of interest at a trustee or governor level.

As the EU’s new 2024 ESG reporting standards and frameworks come into play, the education sector will be facing increased pressures to comply with regulations and keep up with reporting requirements. These new regulations are designed to enhance transparency, accountability, and sustainability across all industries, including education, which is a positive step towards a more responsible and sustainable future. However, this shift will inevitably add to the workload of institutions already grappling with existing ESG obligations.

The Challenge

Schools, universities, and other educational bodies must provide transparent and comprehensive reporting on their ESG initiatives. This includes documenting efforts to reduce environmental impact, improving workforce diversity and well-being, and demonstrating how they are contributing to social sustainability through their educational mission.

Failure to comply with these new standards could lead to reputational damage, reduced funding opportunities, and legal or financial penalties.
