Environmental Sustainability in Online Education
We are dedicated to empowering professionals across the planet, but not at the expense of the planet. As a company that delivers environmentally-friendly online courses, we are committed to undertaking measures that further reduce our impact on the planet and improve our sustainability.
As part of this commitment we are working to achieve certified responsibility towards the environment, so we have registered with the Investors in the Environment Green Accreditation scheme.
This means we can continually push ourselves to improve and strive for more environmentally-conscious practices, be held accountable for our actions and have our progress monitored and approved by a third party.

Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
We have taken several measures to limit our consumption of energy and waste production. Learna encourages its employees to travel responsibly with its work from home policy and cycle to work scheme. Furthermore, online learning by its very nature is less harmful to the environment than campus-based education. Read more.
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Our adoption of the Investors in the Environment climate accreditation scheme is part of our continual commitment to combating climate change and its impacts where we can. In addition, we believe that we can work towards affecting others by making our business a cleaner, greener place to work. We want to continue to provide eco-friendly education while striving for better sustainability as a company and influencing our stakeholders to become more environmentally conscious.
