Value proposition

The Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges

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

We've been promoting sustainability in post-16 education for over 20 years. Primarily a membership body, we serve 300 organisations whilst also working to change systems that enable sustainability action. ​

We’re both a charity and a company limited by guarantee and are always not-for-profit. ​

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’re 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.​

Our current projects include the Green Gown Awards, the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard and more.
