Our Sustainability Strategy

Our commitment to sustainability

"In today’s rapidly evolving world, we know that sustainability is the key to providing a world of hope for future generations. This is why at Cognita, we are committed to doing our part to creating a brighter and more sustainable future for our students, parents, colleagues, and communities.

We believe that we can contribute to a better tomorrow through meaningful action by empowering and educating our students, fostering a world of belonging, measuring and tracking targets, and giving our time and resources to those in need.
Our schools already embark on so many initiatives linked to these actions, which is the inspiration and driving force behind our sustainability strategy.

Thank you for joining us on this journey."

Jamie Delaney, Head of ESG and Group Ethics and Compliance Officer

Sustainability Strategy

Our sustainability strategy covers four priority areas: environment, students, people, and communities. These priority areas are underpinned by our foundational principle, Leading Responsibly. This strategy is inspired by our global purpose - to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Sustainable Learning Environments reflects our ambition to reduce our environmental impact in terms of our operations and infrastructure.

Nurturing Responsible Learners reflects our ambition to empower our students to thrive not only on their own, but in relation to others, with society, and on our planet.

Fair & Sustainable Workplaces reflects our ambition to provide fair work and create a workplace that focuses on culture, diversity, inclusion, wellbeing, and development.

Impacting Global Education reflects our ambition to benefit global education as a whole by using our unique set of skills to help communities all over the globe improve their quality of education.

Leading Responsibly is the foundational principle that underpins each of these priority areas. It reflects how as an organisation we are governed by the principle of leading and operating ethically and with integrity.

Reporting

Cognita is committed to reporting transparently on our sustainability initiatives. We cover our activities in relation to our sustainability strategy in an annual Sustainability Report.
