What CORE is

A structured, guided pathway for sustainability action.

CORE provides a structured, guided pathway for sustainability action. Work through practical tasks with guidance and evidence — progressing through Bronze, Silver and Gold at your own pace, using the PACE™ methodology throughout.

Bronze

Heavily guided. Strong explanation, prompts, examples, resources and support.

Silver

Guided application. Build on Bronze and apply learning with greater organisational ownership.

Gold

Increasingly self-directed. Take significantly greater ownership while continuing to use the same PACE™ methodology.

Same framework. Deeper progression. Greater ownership.

How it works

Powered by PACE™ — a framework that tells you what to do next.

The learning and action methodology behind the platform. PACE™ helps organisations prepare, assess their current position, make practical changes and expand what works.
