Sustainability and service in action: Dulwich Pudong highlights ESG progress

Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong continues to advance its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments, with its 2024/25 report showcasing significant progress and a deepening culture of sustainability and social responsibility.

ESG is an established global approach that organisations use to evaluate the extent to which they deliver on their environmental, social, and governance goals. The ‘2024/25 Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong ESG Progress Indicator Report’ charts our key achievements in four areas: Learning, Planet, People, and Policy.

Much of the activity is student-led and in the past year we are proud to have had their many achievements recognised with two important national awards: The China Schools Award for Students for Sustainability and the Sustainability & Innovation Award for Social Impact.

In the foreword to the report, Garry Russell, Head of College, thanked all those who have contributed to driving Global Citizenship across the College community.

It is more than just a record of success; it reflects who we are and what matters to us. It celebrates the everyday actions and transformative projects that are empowering our students to make informed choices, take inspired action, and become agents of positive change.
