FAQs on Partnership

In short, it means that you are focused on developing the sustainability skills and knowledge of your workforce and supply chain. The School Partnership is a legally constituted partnership, and all Partners are required to sign a Partner Schedule which forms part of our Constitution, as well as our Code of Ethics.

Take a look at our current Partners here. Partners include main contractors, homebuilders, infrastructure clients, facilities management providers, manufacturers, colleges and government departments.

Partners are the group of organisations who steer the direction of the School, setting the strategic focus and identifying key sustainability training and content to deliver. They also fund the School, meaning the content is free to access for the rest of the industry, including Partner's supply chains. Partners also receive a host of additional benefits including:

  • Up to 5 training workshops delivered for their staff or supply chain

  • Access to 120+ CPD accredited e-learning and 20+ sustainability shorts to host on their own LMS

  • Supply chain tracking technology with real-time analytics

  • Opportunity to join groups with industry leaders to explore key sustainability issues


Members are companies with a free account on the School which gives them access to all the training, resources and assessments hosted, as well as dashboards to track their engagement as individuals and company as a whole. They can showcase their commitment to upskilling on sustainability with the School to their clients through CPD certificates and badges. Read more about membership here.

No. The School is free at the point of use. We will not charge your supply chain for any of the resources - they can join as a free member. The School is funded by a combination of Partner fees, CITB and other funding bodies as and when appropriate. The School’s accounts are transparent, signed off by the Board and available for review by Partners.

Becoming a Partner is a simple process. Once you agree to join as a Partner, you will be asked to sign a Partner Schedule aligned to our Constitution, agreeing to our key terms and conditions. You'll then be assigned a dedicated Account Manager to support you to engage with the School and get the most value from your benefits.
