Sustainability & environmental commitments
At Blanchard, sustainability is embedded into how we design and deliver our services and continuously improve our business. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact while creating long-term value for our people, customers, communities, and planet.
Our approach is guided by four strategic pillars: Environment, People, Governance, and Community, with measurable commitments that support our long-term sustainability strategy.
Our Sustainability Strategy
Environment — Reduce our environmental footprint.
People — Create an inclusive, healthy workplace.
Governance — Operate ethically, securely, and transparently.
Community — Strengthen the communities we serve.
Our Environmental Focus
Green Campus — Creating healthier, more sustainable workplaces by reducing energy consumption, water use, and waste.
Sustainable Products — Designing lower-impact learning experiences through digital-first delivery, responsible sourcing, and reduced material consumption.
Carbon Reduction — Reducing operational emissions through smarter travel, regional delivery, digital learning, and continual operational improvements.
Measuring our impact
Blanchard measures greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant Scope 3 categories to understand our environmental impact and identify opportunities for continual improvement.
Our latest greenhouse gas inventory shows that most of our emissions fall under Scope 3. The largest share is represented by purchased goods and services, reflecting the materials, technology platforms, suppliers, and partners that support our global delivery model.
Understanding where our emissions occur helps us focus our efforts where they can have the greatest impact. Our priorities include improving the sustainability of our learning materials and product design, reducing travel emissions through digital-first delivery, and strengthening engagement with suppliers across our value chain.
Our greenhouse gas inventory is prepared using Carbonhound and supports our commitment to transparent reporting, data-led decision-making, and ongoing environmental improvement. Progress against our sustainability goals will be measured, reviewed, and reported annually.
A culture of giving
Blanchard works toward improving the planet, people, prosperity, and purpose. Our goals support environmental impact through greener solutions, ethical commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B) and meaningful work. We consciously invest in our business and our people, and give back to the community while encouraging our colleagues to do the same.
Giving back to the community
We are committed to financially supporting non-profit organizations that strengthen local communities. In addition to supporting our own Blanchard Institute, we regularly make direct donations to 501(c) charities, and offer free leadership and self-development training to youth, educational professionals, and nonprofit organization leaders.
Protecting our environment
Blanchard strives to conserve natural resources by minimizing energy consumption, reducing emissions, and increasing awareness. We have a green campus with recycling, EV charging stations, LED lighting, and a protected nature trail. We innovate around ethical production processes by promoting a digital-first experience with a circular-economy approach. We work every day to reduce our carbon footprint so that future generations will inherit a healthy, sustainable planet.
