ACMM Eco Policy 

ACMM is committed to eco care:

All our manuals, educational material, audios and videos are all online. If students choose to print their manuals, we ask them to do so on recycled paper only. This keeps paper waste to an absolute minimum.

All of our administration is done electronically.

All our audios and videos are in digital format.

ACMM team members work electronically from their own dedicated home office.  This minimizes commuting, carbon emissions and resource wastage. 

Part of our educational program involves deepening students’ mindful connection with nature.

Know that when you choose to study with us, you choose a responsible employer and nature friendly education provider.
