About Us

The Alliance for Sustainable Schools is an international non-profit network of schools working together to help accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. Our members share a commitment to the principles of the Sustainable Schools Charter.

As a community of practice, The Alliance connects sustainability practitioners in schools around the world, sharing their learnings and amplifying their impact.

As an agent of change, we harness the collective influence of our member schools, engage with their students, and partner with innovative organisations in their local communities to catalyse systems change in five areas where major sustainability challenges and opportunities exist across schools: school buses, school buildings, school food, school uniforms, and education for sustainability.

Our Mission

To accelerate the transition to a sustainable future by working together with members and partners to catalyze systems change in the sustainability of school food, school buses, school uniforms, school buildings, and education for sustainability.
