Thousands of UK businesses are now translating sustainability training into real-world impact, with the latest Supply Chain Sustainability School Annual Impact Report revealing widespread carbon reduction efforts and tangible business wins.
In the past year alone, 7,677 companies engaged with the School’s free training and tools, with 50,855 learners upskilled – an 18 per cent increase in individuals and four per cent growth in company participation compared to the previous year.
Critically, this learning is turning into action:
- 62 per cent of companies are now actively working to reduce carbon emissions,
- 40 per cent credit the School for supporting their progress,
- And 51 per cent say it helped them win new business – demonstrating that sustainability is not only a compliance issue but a competitive advantage.
Backed by over 220 industry Partners, the School supports companies of all sizes in building the skills needed to meet regulatory demands, respond to client expectations, and accelerate decarbonisation.
Hilary Hurrey, Head of the Supply Chain Sustainability School said: “This report proves that skills drive action. UK businesses are not only learning about sustainability – they’re using that knowledge to reduce emissions and grow their operations. The School is proud to be a catalyst for that change.”
The platform’s training continues to receive strong feedback, with 95 per cent of members rating it as good or excellent, and a further 22 new Partners joining in the last year – bringing the total to 223 and deepening its reach across the built environment.

FMJ has partnered with global worktech leader, Eptura, to deliver a webinar on Thursday 26 June at 11am to discuss Eptura’s 2025 Workplace Index that suggests that over a third of employers are proactively looking to increase office attendance which could result in a rise in the use of AI and cross-platform data analytics to help manage FM operations.
The webinar will bring together experts from Eptura, along with FM thought leaders on the adoption of integrated solutions that unleash powerful data analytics capabilities, leading to increased productivity and reduced operational costs.
