Environmental Sustainability
The International College of Management is nested in a bushland setting on North Head in Manly. The area is home to a plethora of native flora and fauna including the long nose bandicoot and the Little Penguin.
ICMS is committed to the environmental sustainability of this precious area and in 2008 was awarded Manly Sustainable Business Awards for Water Use Management and Excellence in Sustainable Business Management.
Environmentally sustainable activities include • sustainability education for students and staff, • use of stormwater for irrigation, composting of organic waste, • recycling programs in classrooms and offices, • use of timers on electrical appliances and sensors for lighting, • native gardens and vegetation corridors for wildlife, • support and assistance with Bandicoot surveys, • purchasing local good and services where possible
