Commitment

Sustainability - It's NOT Too Late

Being an ethical Australian educational provider drives our goal towards being a sustainable business and making Australia a better place to live, work and study.

We believe in the power of education and also of positive role models. We know that it makes a world of difference when we show our students how we, and they, can act to be more sustainable.

Sustainability means managing the needs of the environment, the economy and also society.

To be sustainable we are committed to:

Minimising our carbon footprint
Offsetting our remaining carbon usage
Using 100% renewable energy
Actively limiting our usage of consumables and waste generation
Supporting climate action initiatives
Educating students on sustainability issues that relate to their field of study

Get on board and let's ensure there is a positive future for Australia and the world.

It's not too late BUT we all need to act now.

Sustainability Programs

100% Renewable Energy

ACCM is contracted to 100% renewable energy; and as of 2023 have been using solar panels installed on our roof to meet most of our energy needs.

In addition we have put our money where our mouth is - and have invested $100 000 in the development of the Orange Community Renewable Energy Park as a member of the Energy Democracy Central West NSW Co-operative.

Supporting Solar

Plant a Tree Programme

Planting native trees in key areas of Australia is an important steps towards regenerating damaged landscapes, supporting native wildlife and creating a carbon sink.

ACCM has joined a plant a tree program that will see a native seedling planted in an identified area of significance for every student we enrol in 2023 and we have extended our commitment into 2024.

Carbon Offsets

While we try and eliminate as much as we can, everyday life generates carbon emissions.

Where we can't eliminate the activity that generates the carbon - we have committed to offsetting it through a carbon offset program.

Our chosen carbon offset program has the added benefit of providing a habitat for endangered species in an Australian designated Global Biodiversity Hotspot.
