Specialists in reducing your environmental impact.

Greenleaf TDG specialise in software tools and services that help people, businesses and educational establishments reduce their environmental impact.

• Full environmental impact reports (written for optional publication to provide optimum environmental sustainability transparency)
• Generation and 3rd party verification of roadmaps to carbon zero using science based targets.
• Sustainability accreditations - the Greenleaf Certification is unique in not considering offsetting in it's eligibility criteria and so the accreditation is helping distinguish establishments acting now to reduce their impact from those who are greenwashing.
• Track tools that harness the power of AI to create frictionless data capture - meaning educational institutes can track emissions across all scopes, as well as their material consumption, in real-time with pioneering accuracy, ease and cost-effectiveness. These tools allow round-the-clock progress tracking against a carbon zero roadmap and enable in-house sustainability staff to focus on actioning change rather than data collection.
  
• Offsetting portfolio in correspondence with the latest literature and the Oxford Offsetting Principles, providing a mix of carbon reduction and removal for educational establishments.
• Building advice including embodied carbon audits and advice for optimal sustainability in expansion/renovation planning.
• Staff training across teachers and support staff on climate awareness and impact reducing actions.

Getting Every Child Online Charity

Every Child Online (ECO) was founded in March 2020, during the pandemic and the start of the first lockdown.

ECO encourages members of the public and UK businesses to donate their preloved PCs, laptops, and ancillary devices and once they have passed a quality check, ECO label them and then hands them out to schools and organisations that provide support to underprivileged kids.

Every Child Online encourages companies of all sizes to consider adopting its IT Full Circle philosophy. Donating your surplus PCs or laptops, which are usually a much higher specification than schools can afford and usually only a few years old, will inevitably be used to educate children who may well become your future employees. 

In addition, donating your surplus devices to ECO can help your business reach goals related to corporate, social responsibility, sustainability, environmental, social impact, and governance.

You can help ECO drastically limit the digital divide between those with and those without access to modern IT equipment, and ensure our schools have computers fit for purpose.

Every Child Online has donated to schools across Essex and London and we aim to go national. Each school receives between 30k to 60k worth of refurbished PCs or Laptops (that’s one to three classrooms full). We have also provided hundreds of refurbished laptops to organisations that support underprivileged kids. 

Together, we close the digital divide.

Student focussed Courses

We are passionate about the need for better financial awareness and financial knowledge for today’s school leaver. That, coupled with a demand from school leavers to better understand how to maintain their personal wellbeing.

Our financial education courses teach students the basics of money management: budgeting, saving, debt, investing, and giving. That knowledge lays a foundation for students to build strong money habits early on and avoid many of the mistakes that lead to lifelong money struggles.
