Sustainability
For a healthier, happier school, we are aiming to cut our carbon with Let’s Go Zero!
Let’s Go Zero is the campaign for all schools, colleges and nurseries to be zero carbon by 2030. We bring support, guidance and opportunities to thousands of schools – representing more than two million young people.
Let’s Go Zero was launched in 2020. Since 2023, the primary funder has been Green Future Investments Limited (GFIL). GFIL’s enthusiastic commitment has grown Let’s Go Zero to be the biggest, most impactful school sustainability movement in the UK.
We have been very lucky to work with Rosie Pincott. Rosie has worked with St Paul's for the past year helping us to evaluate and think about our sustainability and how we could reduce our carbon footprint.
