Results Index: A metric designed to provide an overall picture of how successfully AcadeMedia fulfills its core educational mission over time and across different types of schools. The Index is calculated as a weighted measure based on nationally established performance indicators for each school type, as well as deviations from national test results. AcadeMedia’s preschool operations are not included in this metric.

Safety Index: A metric designed to provide an overall picture of how successfully AcadeMedia creates safe environments for children and students over time and across different types of schools. The Safety Index is calculated as a weighted average of survey responses from students and guardians regarding their perceived sense of safety.

Responsible Business Conduct: AcadeMedia’s Code of Conduct establishes the Group’s ethical guidelines. The Code of Conduct has been approved by the Board and serves as a foundation for the Group’s governance, focusing on its core mission, accountability, transparency, and compliance. Starting in 2026/27, all managers across all AcadeMedia countries will be required to complete Code of Conduct training.

AcadeMedia’s Materiality Assessment: AcadeMedia’s materiality assessment is based on the principle of double materiality and draws on dialogues with the Group’s key stakeholders, in line with applicable EU legislation (CSRD/ESRS). All stakeholder groups consider learning outcomes and the quality of education to be the single most important sustainability area, followed by workforce-related issues and responsible business conduct. Climate and environmental impact are also regarded as priority areas, with clear expectations regarding the measurement and reduction of emissions.
