About us

EAUC is the leading body for sustainability in the post-16 education sector in the UK and Republic of Ireland.  

Primarily a membership body, we serve over 300 organisations whilst also working to change systems that enable sustainability action. 

Our vision

A post-16 education system that creates a world with sustainability at its heart.

Our purpose

We exist to lead and empower the post 16 education sector to embed sustainability in everything it does.

We promote holistic whole organisation approaches where leadership and governance, estates and operations, teaching and learning and collaborations are all actively driving sustainability so that we are equipping learners for their lives, being responsible organisations and shaping society for the better.

We do this by:

  • Supporting our members to create meaningful sustainability change.

  • Convening our network to generate solutions to shared challenges.

  • Creating systems change to establish a more enabling environment for sustainability action.

Values

We are first and foremost values-led. Our values set out what you can expect from us, and what we expect from those we work with. 

Collaborative

We foster communities, connect people and work smartly with other organisations.​

Integrity

We are an ‘honest broker’ of expertise and share not just our successes but lessons learned.​

Ambitious

We focus on impact, stimulating innovation and driving progress across the sector. We strive for excellence.​

Inclusive

We centre equity, diversity and inclusion in everything we do.

Empowering

We build capacity and expertise.

Our strategy

We know our organisation is built on solid foundations, but we need to increase the scale and pace at which we work.

We want to be more ambitious and more impactful, unleashing our potential as a catalyst of transformational change across our sector.

  1. Our members will be achieving their ambitious sustainability goals. 

  2. All post-16 education organisations in the UK and the Republic of Ireland will be engaged through our work.
