Trivallis is excited to announce that they have been officially accredited as a Silver Carbon Literate Organisation. This achievement reflects their ongoing commitment to building a low carbon future and highlights the growing strength of sustainability across our organisation.

This milestone follows the successful accreditation of 170 staff members who are now Carbon Literate. Their learning and commitment have helped create a shared understanding of climate change, giving people the confidence to take practical action as part of their roles. This includes reducing waste, improving asset planning, supporting long term efficiency and shaping services that meet the needs of Trivallis tenants and communities.

A meaningful step in their sustainability journey

Carbon Literacy is supporting Trivallis to embed climate conscious thinking into everyday decisions. It is helping them work in a more informed and consistent way and making sustainability a core part of their culture.

Dave Coleman, Co-Founder and Managing Director of The Carbon Literacy Project, said:
“By becoming a Silver accredited Carbon Literate Organisation, Trivallis has demonstrated its commitment to genuine low carbon action, environmental and economic impact, and the building of a low carbon future for us all.”

Working in partnership with Cynnal Cymru

“Our progress has been supported by our partnership with Cynnal Cymru, whose expertise in delivering and shaping Carbon Literacy training has supported us in creating a bespoke training programme for Trivallis staff. In this, they have helped our staff gain the knowledge and momentum needed to influence change across Trivallis.”

Jason Shilcock, Head of Training and Advice at Cynnal Cymru, said:

“Working in partnership with Trivallis was both rewarding and fulfilling. Having an organisation that truly recognises the difference it can make to local people and communities and supports its staff to be as knowledgeable as possible to make informed decisions and take meaningful actions, is invaluable. We thank the team at Trivallis and congratulate you heartily on such well-deserved recognition of all your hard work. Llongyfarchiadau mawr!”

Looking ahead and staying Lit-erate with our Carbon Literacy training

Trivallis plan to build on this strong foundation by training a further 30 to 40 colleagues each year, ensuring carbon awareness continues to grow across the organisation and is sustained over the long term. Staff within the organisation have attended the ‘delivering successful Carbon Literacy workshop’ meaning they can deliver the training themselves to our staff.

Vic, Director of Assets and Sustainability, said:

“This Silver Award is a real testament to the commitment of our staff and their drive towards making Trivallis a net zero organisation. It also supports colleagues to make positive changes in their personal lives as well as impacting decisions on how we operate as a business.”

Trivallis have also been invited to take part in wider Carbon Literacy celebrations, which includes the awards ceremony taking place in Manchester in summer 2026.
Thank you to everyone involved.

Together, these accreditations demonstrate that Trivallis is taking meaningful, measurable steps towards a more sustainable future. As they continue to expand Carbon Literacy training and embed low carbon thinking across their services, they remain committed to leading by example and creating lasting benefits for our people, homes and communities.

Trivallis are a community mutual housing association which is owned by their tenants, rooted in their local communities, and working through collaboration and partnership.
