“This programme will be the largest international environmental education programme of its kind and one about which HSBC and FEE are very excited.  It aims to impact positively on young people around the world through the delivery of the Eco-Schools Programme and the engagement of HSBC employees.”

"Tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges our generation faces. By educating and supporting our children to take action, Eco-Schools is making a difference now and for the future. The Eco-Schools awards scheme is the world's largest environmental education programme for children. It enables schools to enhance their local surroundings, save money and reduce their carbon footprint. The efforts of children, staff and volunteers in Eco-Schools are recognised internationally by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The Green Flag is a symbol of FEE."
By Jan Eriksen, President of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE)
