HomeSustainability Impact of HEI​ – Impact Tree

WELCOME TO THE DECODE TOOLKIT!

We have created a list of various instruments* that deans & their representatives can adopt & use to drive sustainability in their HEI in an impactful way. 

But to make it easy: these instruments have been visualized in an “Impact Tree”. The tree consists of Impact Drivers & Sub-Drivers: various areas that need to be taken into consideration when moving towards a “Sustainable” organization.

*We understand instruments as “something which helps to get a job done” – so we’re including best practices, digital tools, research articles, models, frameworks, case studies, and more. As long as it can either practically help or inspire you to improve a specific area in your journey towards sustainability: you will find it here.
