Connect your business with schools to redirect resources, build world of work skills, and create lasting impact — together.

Why Businesses Like Yours Are Getting Involved!

🎯 Develop Future Talent: Connect with students already applying functional sustainability thinking, problem-solving, and circular economy skills. You’ll help build a future workforce that understands your values — and your processes.

🌱 Demonstrate ESG Leadership: We provide formal recognition for your involvement, making it easier to show tangible ESG outcomes in tenders, reports and stakeholder communication.

📣 Positive Public Relations: Show your customers, staff and community that you're taking meaningful action for the planet and the next generation.

🌍 Motivate & Engage your Team: Sustainability partnerships can boost morale, foster pride and strengthen your company culture — helping position your business as an employer of choice.

🌐 Connect with Industry Leaders: Our program attracts investment and partnership from major companies committed to ESG and sustainable supply chains. By getting involved, your business joins a wider industry conversation — and helps shape what sustainability looks like across your sector.

Why Your Involvement Matters

Partnering with Climate Action Schools is more than a tick for ESG — it's your chance to connect with the next generation of doers and thinkers.

Students are applying proven LEAN methodologies like:

  • ✅ 5 Whys – Finding the root of the problem, fast

  • ♻️ 8 Wastes – Identifying where time, energy, and materials are lost

  • 🧹 5S System – Creating clean, efficient, well-organised spaces

They’re thinking in systems. They’re seeing “waste” as opportunity. They’re ready to learn from you.
