We are proud that Harrow College was the first general further education (FE) college to be awarded the Carbon Trust Standard in 2011. The accreditation lasts for two years and we were re-certified in 2013, 2015, and again in 2017 with an outstanding score of 88% in carbon management ratings. We produced a 5 year Carbon Reduction Plan in 2010 to reduce our emissions by 25% and exceeded our target by reducing our emissions by 33% in only four years. We continue to strive to reduce our carbon emissions and have produced a new five-year Carbon Reduction Plan with 2016 as the base year, to reduce our footprint by a further 21%, in line with Government efforts to reduce climate change. Also since 2013, we have been accredited for the ISO14001 environmental management standard on an annual basis. Read our Environmental Policy Statement. Read about our Carbon Footprint.
