Our Vision:

“An industry where everyone will have the skills and knowledge to deliver a sustainable future.”

To deliver this vision we are guided by eight core principles and driven by four shared values that shape every aspect of how we work.

Every year we set ambitious targets for active, engaged users. By the end of this financial year we aim to grow our annual active users to 60,000 people. Achieving these numbers is a collaborative effort, driven by the support of our Partners, leadership groups, and dedicated members.

Our Values:

We are collaborative, impactful, inspirational and inclusive.

Collaborative because we share knowledge and resources.
Impactful because we deliver measurable impact through dynamic leadership.
Inspirational because we inspire and enable our industry to drive positive change.
Inclusive because we exemplify respect for the planet, our colleagues and wider society.

Guiding Principles:

The School has eight guiding principles that are delivered using our four shared values.

Subject matter

We will provide learning content that builds skills to deliver a sustainable built environment.

Target audience

We will deliver a School free at the point of use for anybody who works in, or may aspire to work in, the built environment sector.

Accreditation

We will offer CPD-accredited learning where appropriate and learning that contributes to professional qualifications.

New knowledge

We will engage with industry, academia and research organisations to instigate and seed fund new research that can be translated into School learning content in the future.

Leadership

We will establish the School as the centre of excellence with respect to developing supply chains to deliver a sustainable built environment.

Geographic reach

We will seek global best practice to reach Partners’ supply chains across the UK and outside the UK, where appropriate. Our delivery partner will respond to opportunities to franchise the School at their own cost and risk.

Partners

We will seek partners who share the values of the School and who commit to share knowledge, contribute financially and in kind.

Funding

We will fund the School from Partner contributions, franchise fees and appropriate sources of government or industry funding. We will not ask members for money or allow commercial sponsorship of our learning content or activities.
