Carbon Literacy

Taking action against the climate crisis isn’t just necessary but it’s the right thing to do for everyone, our planet included.

This is why promoting a carbon-literate culture amongst colleagues is a key part of our environmental and sustainability strategy.

In 2023, we partnered with The Carbon Literacy Project to deliver training on climate change, carbon footprints, and the reasons why each of us can, and should, contribute to mitigating the climate crisis.

We did this to equip colleagues with the understanding of how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within their area of influence.

More than 200 staff trained in carbon literacy

Over 100 staff certified as carbon literate

400 carbon- reducing actions pledged

Grand Union Housing Group is proud to be one of 7,694 organisations, across 33 nations to be delivering this training.

To date, we have trained 200 colleagues, 60% of whom have been certified as Carbon Literate, a number that continues to rise each month.
