SLS Purpose

Developed in partnership with EAUC and AUDE, the purpose of the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard (SLS) is to measure the sustainability performance within higher and further education institutions and provide a framework for continued sustainability effort. This can then be used to drive innovation and encourage knowledge transfer within the sector.

SLS Structure

The SLS comprises 18 standard frameworks developed to address current and emerging sustainability themes. Frameworks are grouped within four priority areas. Each framework is made up of 8 activities and scoring is given at an activity level. All scoring is based on a 0 to 4 scale.

The EAUC and AUDE delivered a User Webinar for the SLS, in which its new functions and features were demonstrated and discussed. You can now watch this back below.


 

Automatically drawing on many of the sustainability standards and accreditations you have achieved, the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard:

  • Allows a coordinated whole-institution approach to sustainability
  • Provides reports that you can use to communicate performance success within your institution, to set new targets, and to monitor and improve progress
  • Gives choice over which aspects of sustainability you could focus on
  • Is free and easy to use for all EAUC and AUDE members in the UK and Ireland

Q&As

How do I get a login?

If you are already a user of the Green Scorecard your login remains the same, if you need a reminder email info@sustainabilityleadershipscorecard.org.uk.  EAUC members and colleges just email us and we will send you the details.

Not a university or college?

Please note that the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard is only available for HE & FE institutions to access and not for wider sector bodies. 

Why should I complete it and what is going to happen to the data?

EAUC and AUDE will jointly produce an annual report on the sector’s activity and performance based on the collective data. We do not use individual data of institutions or name them. We may ask for case studies or examples of achievements from institutions but this will always be done with your permission. 

Do I need to do all the areas in the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard?

No, you choose which areas you would like to focus on. You can choose areas that you feel you are already achieving success in, to produce easy and engaging reports to your management teams. You can then build on other areas and the tool can be the action planner to help you achieve success.

I am in the Republic of Ireland – can I use the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard?

Yes, the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard is available to any post-16 education institution in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
