Fellowes Announces Sponsorship of Healthy Green Schools & Colleges Program

Fellowes, a worldwide provider of WorkLife needs product solutions, recently announced that it will be a Platinum sponsor of the Healthy Green Schools & Colleges program, according to a news release. The program from the Healthy Schools Campaign is intended to help facility professionals improve the educational experience for students and staff through sustainable facility operations and green schools.

The program was developed through collaboration with school facility management professionals and covers a wide range of facility management practices and guidance through operational challenges. The topics covered include operational efficiency, workforce development, agility and adaptability, communication, collaboration, and resource constraints, the news release reports.

“The Healthy Green Schools & Colleges program recognizes the need to provide healthy indoor air quality for students and staff,” said Fellowes’ Global General Manager of Air Quality Management, Arti Lyde. “Fellowes is proud to support this effort as we have spent more than 15 years creating and providing air quality solutions that help make shared indoor spaces healthy for all. We have already placed 400,000 of our air purification units in classrooms, helping improve air quality for more than 2 million students and staff. In aligning with the Health Green Schools & Colleges program we are excited to amplify our shared vision for clean indoor air with a wide variety of school decision-makers.”

The Healthy Green Schools & Colleges program uses a three-step process to streamline operational efficiency. In the assessment phase, schools can submit a free, online self-assessment to measure building performance and identify strengths and weaknesses. In the commitment phase, schools join the program to gain access to resources like “guidebooks, training materials and a peer network of facility professionals on a similar journey.” In the improvement phase, schools use the program resources to boost their building’s performance at their own pace.

 “We are delighted to have Fellowes come on board as a platinum sponsor, joining in a commitment to bring healthier indoor air quality to learning environments,” said Sara Porter, Healthy Green Schools & Colleges Program Director. “Fellowes’ work in air quality has included a focus on educating others on the importance of clean air. This aligns with our mission and we’re proud to partner with an organization that not only understands this but also advocates the universal right for everyone to breathe clean air.”
