We know that we play an important role in developing young people’s attitudes to sustainability, as well as in the performance of Berkhamsted School from a green perspective. 

The School has a commitment to incorporating sustainability into its core activities of teaching, learning and operations. To guide us through the initial stages of our journey, the School has engaged with Orbis Advisory Ltd, and have been working closely since March 2022.  

Orbis Advisory have created an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Roadmap to assist the School in progressing our sustainability agenda. The creation of the ESG Roadmap has included a review of the School’s existing ESG documents, an analysis of stakeholder expectations and an evaluation into sector best practice. These were undertaken to understand the School’s current position and to develop key timelines and milestones for progression.

The Roadmap shows that we are already in a strong position with many ESG initiatives in place. We also have a number of exciting initiatives coming up over the next few years. With the support of Orbis Advisory and by following the steps outlined in the Roadmap Report, our Key Performance Indicators and the Annual Sustainability Report, the School is looking to be able to improve ESG performance further.  

We are now in a position to be able to share our first Annual Sustainability Report with the wider community. I hope that the steps we are taking will make a difference and will, perhaps, encourage others in the local and wider communities to start their own paths to a more sustainable future.​
