French in Normandy IH Rouen proudly stands as the sole school in France accredited by Green Standard Schools and the first International House (IH) school to earn the prestigious sustainability badge. This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

A Paperless Commitment

At French in Normandy, we have embraced a paperless ethos, which is central to our environmental efforts. Our commitment to waste reduction is evident in our careful monitoring of energy usage, exclusive use of LED lighting, and the complete elimination of paper in the classroom. By leveraging Google Drive, we provide students with access to our online resource centre, enabling them to continue their French studies even after their course concludes. This approach not only conserves resources but also allows for a personalised learning experience tailored to each student's needs.

Additional Green and CSR Initiatives

Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond the classroom. French in Normandy implements various green and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) measures to further our environmental impact:

• Water Conservation: We actively save water through various initiatives.
• Recycling: We maintain a 100% recycling policy throughout the school. Partnering with Elise, a local company, we ensure all our waste is recycled while supporting employment opportunities for individuals with reduced mobility.
• Community Projects: Our community engagement includes donations to Reforest'Action, support for local initiatives such as placing table football tables in children’s wards, and ongoing projects with Friends of New Heart Children’s Home in Malindi, Kenya.

Through these measures, French in Normandy IH Rouen not only fosters a sustainable environment but also enriches the community, both locally and globally. Our commitment to green standards and social responsibility is an integral part of our identity and mission.
