UPG SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS: Engage, Join, Participate, Unite & Involve

Schools and Institutions

“Global warming and sustainability are challenges that provoke a lot of anger and frustration – on both sides. UPG is helping people who care about these challenges to respond with positive action”

UPG Sustainability Leadership mobilises people and organisations to support positive citizen leadership on sustainability. This is achieved through activities that train leaders, certify schools, institutions and companies. The UPG Schools and Institutions activity certifies establishments that enable positive citizen leadership on sustainability

Why participate? A school or Institution that is certified demonstrates leadership on a defining issue across the globe. Being on the “frontline” and on the correct side of the frontline strengthens your organisation’s profile as an entity that is making the world a better place. Your organisation also creates the possibility that your stakeholders choose positive and constructive action on sustainability. This minimises the risk that your stakeholders choose the confrontational, negative and sometimes destructive options that are available.

To participate , each school or institution selects a path to certification. This is approved by UPG and then the activity begins. Upon completion, the required materials are submitted or a review is conducted. Success is confirmed by UPG issuing a certificate to complete the process. Certificates available:
•UPG Sustainability Leadership – Certified – achieved via path A
•UPG Sustainability Leadership – Certified Master – achieved via paths B or C
