Welcome to The Open University’s Sustainability Planning, Action & Reporting Kit (SPARK) tool.
The Open University is dedicated to creating and sharing knowledge to realise social and environmental justice. With environmental sustainability being a key strategic priority, we are aiming to embed sustainability into decision-making activities across all functions of the university. Creating a sustainability action plan is an important step in this process.
Your action plan will also support the university’s commitment to achieving Net Zero in 2050 across the full value chain. For more information on this, please visit our sustainability page
This action planning tool acknowledges that environmental impacts and contribution opportunities can vary from department to department, so you are encouraged to tailor the plan to your specific context.
Having created your SPARK, you can simply work through the actions using the resources provided and monitor your progress over time.
