How can Softcat support?
Sustainability has become a critical focus for educational institutions in the UK as they recognise their role in promoting environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic resilience.
Education institutions are committing to achieving carbon neutrality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their operations. This involves adopting energy-efficient practices, investing in renewable energy sources, and implementing sustainable transportation options to minimise their carbon footprint. Institutions are focusing on procuring goods and services from sustainable and ethical sources. This includes selecting products with lower environmental impacts, favouring local suppliers, and considering the social and environmental practices of vendors.
