Our Partners
Sustainable School Uniforms
Kapes is a closed loop, tech-enabled, e-commerce company with a social mission, providing sustainable school uniforms that help to make the world a better place. Kapes was born from wanting to find a way to fight the climate crisis and revolutionise the school uniform market at the same time.
From day-to-day schoolwear to sportswear, swimwear and accessories, Kapes' extensive range of sustainably certified products will have students ready for all school activities.
Research shows that a uniform can reduce school absenteeism by 62% among those that can't afford one. So for every child that Kapes sell a uniform to, Kapes provides a free uniform on to a child in need in a developing country.
Carbon literacy training
The Carbon Literacy Project offers everyone a day’s worth of Carbon Literacy learning, covering – climate change, carbon footprints, how you can do your bit, and why it’s relevant to you and your audience.
The Carbon Literacy Project is globally unique – there is nothing else quite like it anywhere. It was recognised as such by the UN at COP21, in Paris, where it was awarded as a TAP100, one of 100 worldwide Transformative Action Programs.
Carbon Literacy (CL) is aimed at three distinct audiences – Those that live, Those that work, and, Those that study.
Metanoia offers a credited course training for school students and staff allowing students to be certified as "carbon literate” and the school to become a Carbon Literate Educator.
Solar Design & Installation
Studies suggest that rooftop solar in cities like Hong Kong and Singapore has the potential to generate as much as 10% of the cities' electricity consumption.
Building facades also offer meaningful potential for solar power given recent technological advances and cost reductions.
Helios develops rooftop and BIPV solar installations and is particularly passionate about the power of our work in schools to change behaviour, and shape the opinions of tomorrow's decision-makers. We have a track record of developing solar projects in schools and helping schools maximise the educational value of their solar investment.
