Our learning covers the three core pillars of Sustainability – environmental, social and economic – looking at key issues ranging from carbon management through to combatting modern slavery. But that isn’t all. We also offer training on key topics that will enable the industry to be more sustainable, including:
- Offsite
- Digital
- Energy and Carbon
- Management
- Operational Excellence through Lean Thinking
- Fairness Inclusion and Respect
- Procurement
Membership is FREE and signing up is easy. Membership gives access to hundreds of engaging learning resources and CPD-accredited content.
Who is the School for?
The School is accessible to anyone working in the built environment or aspiring to work in the sector.
Our overall vision is for “an industry where everyone will have the skills and knowledge to deliver a sustainable future.”
It is clear that Sustainability has become a vital topic for everyone working in our sector to incorporate into business and the School recognises that for our industry to act, learning must drive any change.
The School offers training and resources shaped by industry Partners and sector needs, which helps businesses prepare for upcoming challenges, respond to client requests and upskill their staff and supply chains.
