Champittet demonstrates green commitment with Eco-Schools Award

We are proud to announce that Collège Champittet Pully has earned the prestigious Eco-Schools Award. Also known as the Green Flag Award, this international award certifies our commitment to supporting environmentally responsible practices and education for sustainable development. Our Nyon campus has been an Eco-Schools since 2017, so the Green Flag now waves proudly on both campuses!

To qualify for the award, schools must complete a series of steps. These include forming an Eco-Committee, carrying out a sustainable development audit, creating an action plan, and linking sustainable development to the curriculum. A jury of independent experts in education and sustainable development then makes the decision to grant the Eco-Schools Award.

An ongoing commitment to sustainable development

Renewable every two years, the Eco-Schools Award reflects our long-term commitment to sustainable development and continuous improvement. At Collège Champittet, we believe that it is our responsibility to reduce our ecological footprint and integrate sustainability within school life. Cultivating a sense of environmental awareness and responsibility from an early age is vital to educating our students as global citizens. Whether during math, French or art lessons, we strive to introduce our young learners to these urgent challenges and inspire them to seek solutions. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our Eco-Committee, which includes teachers, students, staff and parents. Flying the Green Flag brings value to everyone involved, increases visibility and legitimacy for our sustainability project, and inspires more people to join our cause.

We only have one planet. Let’s work together to protect it!
