Dauson Environmental Group: Supporting Schools and Green Industry Careers

 

28th February 2025

 

 

 

The beginning of this year has already provided numerous opportunities for Dauson Environmental Group to collaborate with authorities across the Capital Region. Our commitment to supporting school sustainability projects and promoting careers in the green industry has seen us engage with students of all ages, from primary school children to sixth-form school leavers.

 

One of our key partnerships has been with Cardiff Council, where we have worked to introduce students to the vast opportunities available within the environmental sector. Through school visits, interactive sessions, and career talks, we aim to inspire young minds and encourage them to consider careers that contribute to a more sustainable future.

 

At Dauson Environmental Group, we firmly believe that sustainability is not just about environmental stewardship but also about providing lasting benefits to communities. By fostering sustainable practices and supporting initiatives that educate and empower the younger generation, we help build a future where businesses, individuals, and communities thrive in harmony with the environment. Through collaboration and education, we can drive meaningful change that benefits both people and the planet.

 

Ben Maizey, our Sustainability and Future Generations Manager, recently visited Grangetown Primary School and was deeply impressed by the students’ insightful suggestions on how to build a more sustainable community. Their enthusiasm and innovative ideas demonstrated a strong awareness of environmental issues and the importance of taking action at a local level. Similarly, Year 7 pupils at Eastern High have come together to develop sustainability initiatives aimed at increasing the environmental performance of their school. Their dedication and creativity highlight the growing interest among young people in driving meaningful change.

 

Reflecting on these engagements, Ben Maizey shared his thoughts:

 

“While my role is to promote and share knowledge about the environmental sector and the rewarding careers within it, I have found it incredibly inspiring to hear the ideas and perspectives of these students. Their recognition of sustainability’s importance and their commitment to environmentally responsible actions give me great confidence in the future of our industry.”

 

As part of its sustainability strategy and objectives, Dauson Environmental Group recognises the importance of positively impacting the next generation. We are committed to encouraging sustainable practices and highlighting the many advantages of a career in the green industry.

 

We remain open to supporting schools with eco and sustainability initiatives. If you believe we can assist your school through presentations, workshops, or project support, please get in touch.
