Sustainability at G8 Education
At G8 Education we believe in the power of the individual to do good – in the workplace, at home and within the communities in which we operate. Helping others is fundamental to our culture and we aim to instil this in our families and our team members.
0ur business exists to deliver on our purpose, creating the foundations for learning for life.
We have a proud history of supporting various initiatives, charities and appeals. We’ve learned that the joy of giving is far greater than receiving, and collectively more than 50,000 children and 10,000 passionate and caring team members across our national network can make a real difference.
We aim to put the needs of families, communities and the planet at the heart of our centres today to build a better tomorrow.
We recognise the important role we play in the lives of the children in our care, the families we support and the community in which we operate. We aim to contribute to a robust, equitable and sustainable future for all stakeholders.
Sustainability Approach
G8 Education’s sustainability approach is focused on creating long term value for our families, team members, the communities in which we operate and our investors in the management of environment, social and governance risks and opportunities.
We have adopted a continuous improvement approach to sustainability, where sustainability performance and reporting transparency increases each year in an effort to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs set a global agenda for sustainable development through 2030 and are a call to action to address the world’s most pressing economic, environmental and social issues.
Our business and approach to sustainability touches on numerous SDGs as outlined below and highlighted in the various reporting topics for each of our four sustainability pillars, which we reported against in our 2021 Sustainability Report. Our sustainability targets aim to support the SDGs and we intend to report in alignment with the SDGs when possible.
