Community & Social Responsibility Audit

Activity Introduction

A sustainability audit is a powerful tool to evaluate how your school is managing resources and impact on the environment. Think of it as taking a snapshot of your school’s current sustainability practices, helping you to establish a baseline and identify areas for improvement. By investigating, measuring, and analysing key aspects of environmental sustainability including energy use, water conservation, or waste management, you can reveal opportunities to implement impactful action projects that drive meaningful and lasting change in your school community.
