Creating positive impact through responsible business
At Edwin, we believe that doing the right thing creates better outcomes for the schools, educators and communities we serve and the young people at the heart of everything we do. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is more than a framework, it reflects how we make decisions, how we measure success and how we create long-term value.
As a purpose-led education group, we're committed to reducing our environmental impact, investing in people, strengthening our governance and continually improving the way we work. While we're proud of the progress we've made, we recognise that responsible business is an ongoing journey of learning, collaboration and accountability.

Environmental
Taking action for a more sustainable future.
Creating a sustainable future requires action, not aspiration. Across Edwin, we're embedding environmental responsibility into the way we operate by reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency and making more sustainable choices across our business.
Our environmental strategy is underpinned by measurable targets, including our commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2045 and the validation of our targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Alongside improving our own operations, we're working with colleagues, suppliers, landlords and partners to encourage sustainable behaviours and reduce our collective impact.
We know meaningful change happens over time, and we're committed to continually measuring, reviewing and improving our environmental performance.
Social
Investing in people and strengthening communities.
People are at the heart of everything we do. Whether supporting our colleagues, helping schools attract exceptional educators or creating opportunities within local communities, we believe lasting success comes from helping people thrive.
Our social impact extends beyond the workplace. Through wellbeing initiatives, learning and development, inclusive working practices, volunteering, fundraising and community partnerships, we're creating opportunities that make a positive difference where we live and work.
By building strong relationships and investing in people, we're helping create resilient schools, stronger communities and a more inclusive future.
Governance
Building trust through accountability and integrity.
Strong governance provides the foundation for responsible growth. It enables us to make informed decisions, maintain the highest standards of safeguarding and compliance, and build lasting trust with schools, candidates, partners and colleagues.
Our governance framework is supported by ethical leadership, transparent decision-making, effective risk management and a culture of accountability across the organisation. We continually review our policies, processes and controls to ensure they remain robust, responsive and aligned with best practice.
By holding ourselves to high standards, we strengthen confidence in the services we provide and the relationships we build.
Our Impact
Measuring progress. Driving meaningful change.
Responsible business is about delivering measurable outcomes as well as making commitments. Our ESG strategy is supported by clear objectives, transparent reporting and ongoing investment in initiatives that create lasting value.
These milestones represent important progress, but they're only part of our story. Every year we continue to strengthen our approach, identify new opportunities for improvement and work collaboratively to create positive impact for future generations.
