Launching a Transformational Tool for the Education Sector - the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard

At last we have a transformational ‘All in One’ tool which captures data and performance from many sources and builds one definitive picture of your institutions performance.
 
AUDE, partnering with EAUC and Arup, are delighted to launch the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard, with the generous support from the former HEFCE.

At the best of times the multi-dimensioned thing we call sustainability can be confusing. Not least the myriad of ever increasing performance improvement tools, quality standards and reporting accreditations, which aim to help, but often leave sustainability leaders feeling overwhelmed, and our colleagues and students none the wiser.
 
Building on the Green Scorecard launched in 2016, to the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard enables a single, engaging indicator of performance and gaps that is easy to understand and communicate.

What does it mean for your institution?

AUDE and EAUC will produce a high profile annual report on the sector’s activity and performance based on the collective data to further support sustainability in the education sector.

Automatically drawing on your current EMR data (only relevant to UK universities), plus many of the sustainability standards and accreditations you have achieved, the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard:

• Allows a coordinated whole-institution approach to sustainability.
• Provides you with reports that you can use to communicate performance success within your own institution, set new targets and monitor and improve progress.
• Gives you the choice over which aspects of sustainability you wish to focus on for action and improvement.

Is free and easy to use for all AUDE and EAUC member universities and colleges in the UK and Ireland.

Q&As

Who can use the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard?

The Sustainability Leadership Scorecard will be free to use and is available to all universities and colleges in the UK and Ireland. 

How do I get a login?

If you are already a user of the Green Scorecard your login remains the same, if you need a reminder email info@sustainabilityleadershipscorecard.org.uk.

How is this linked to the Green Scorecard?

Working very closely with Arup who designed the Green Scorecard on behalf of AUDE the SLS uses much of the functionality within the current tool. The new Sustainability Leadership Scorecard will be just one web portal and login which includes the Green Scorecard. You can just use the Green Scorecard element of the tool if you wish.

How are the estates elements from the Green Scorecard linked with the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard?

If your institution has EMR data already within the Green Scorecard, we have mapped your scores from the Green Scorecard to the relevant estates activity areas in the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard, so there is no duplication on data entry. You do not need to do anything extra.

Why should I complete it and what is going to happen to the data?

EAUC and AUDE will together produce a high profile annual report on the sector’s activity and performance based on the collective data. We will NOT be using any individual institution’s data or naming any individual institutions. We may ask for case studies or examples of achievements from institutions but this will always be done with your permission. To allow institutions time to enter their details we will ask that this is completed by November 2018. We will then produce the annual report in December 2018. This annual report will further support members in raising the profile of sustainability within the sector.

Do I need to do all the areas in the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard?

No, you choose which areas you would like to focus on. You can choose areas that you feel you are already achieving success in to produce easy and engaging reports to your management teams. You can then build on other areas and the tool can be the action planner to help you achieve success.

I am in the Republic of Ireland – can I use the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard?

Yes, the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard is available to any post-16 education institution in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
