WME are committed to helping the education sector on its journey to decarbonisation. That’s why we are delighted to announce that we have become a formal supporter of Count Your Carbon, the UK’s first free, full-scope carbon footprint calculator designed specifically for nurseries, schools, and colleges.
What is Count Your Carbon?
Count Your Carbon is a unique tool, created by and for the education sector. Developed in collaboration with schools and colleges, it enables education providers to:
-
Calculate their full carbon footprint across energy, travel, food, procurement, and more.
-
Understand the biggest sources of their emissions.
-
Reduce carbon through tailored actions and recommendations.
-
Track progress over time to measure improvements and celebrate success.
And importantly, it’s free to use.
Why this helps WME’s customers
As a trusted, leading energy partner to the education sector, WME know that many of our customers are already working towards ambitious sustainability and net zero goals. But starting that journey can feel overwhelming, particularly when resources are stretched.
By supporting Count Your Carbon, WME can help schools and colleges take those all important first steps: understanding where emissions come from and using that knowledge to make informed decisions and changes. This tool complements WME’s own services, which specifically focus on energy,
This partnership also builds on our strong relationship with the Let’s Go Zero campaign, which unites schools working towards becoming zero carbon by 2030. By supporting both initiatives, WME continues to play an active role in the wider movement to reduce emissions across the education sector.
What we have to say
At WME, we recognise that the education sector not only faces the challenge of reducing their own emissions, but also have the opportunity to inspire the next generation in climate action. Supporting Count Your Carbon is another step in our mission to provide the tools, frameworks, and expertise needed to help the education sector achieve its environmental ambitions".
