Nursery group LEYF is naming 2023 as their ‘year of sustainability’, publishing its step-by-step sustainability strategy. The group has recently received a Planet Mark Award for employee engagement and its ongoing carbon footprint measurement as an organisation.

The sustainability report sets out its ‘Green LEYF’ approach in the hope of becoming a sector-leading sustainability organisation, working in partnership with the early years and schools to lead and amplify best practice, while preparing children to undertake their roles and responsibilities as 'global citizens'.

The LEYF approach is framed within 17 sustainable development goals, agreed by the United Nations in 2015 which are underpinned by the three pillars of sustainability: economic prosperity, social equity and environmental integrity.
