Storal ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Policy
At Storal, we believe in creating a brighter future for our children, families, and team by embedding care and responsibility into everything we do. Our commitment to Environmental, Social, andGovernance (ESG) principles is at the heart of our journey, shaping how we nurture, operate, and grow.
Our Vision
We see a world where sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical leadership are the foundations of early childhood education. By embedding ESG principles into every corner of Storal, we aim to inspire change—not just in our nurseries but in the communities we serve and beyond. Together, we’ll nurture a future that’s better for everyone.
Environmental Responsibility
We take pride in teaching the next generation about caring for the planet while taking action ourselves to reduce our ecological footprint. Through our nurseries, we bring sustainability to life:
- Energy Efficiency: We are constantly reviewing our adoption of smart energy practices, using energy-efficient appliances and systems to minimise waste and make conscious choices.
- Waste Reduction and Recycling: From minimising single-use plastics to embracing recycling across all nurseries, we promote habits that protect our world.
- Sustainable Procurement: We carefully choose eco-friendly materials, from wooden toys to sustainably sourced supplies, working only with like-minded suppliers
- Outdoor and Nature-Inclusive Education: Every child deserves a connection to nature.Through our environmental curriculum and participation in the Eco-Schools Programme, we ensure they grow with an appreciation for sustainability and the natural world.
