In 2024, we partnered with digital learning specialists ITZA to launch One Planet, a dynamic online resource designed to educate young people about climate change and inspire action to protect the planet.

As part of our involvement in One Planet, we’re working with ITZA to develop two digital learning modules aimed at helping teenagers build financial literacy through a climate-conscious lens.

The first module, Your Money, Your Mission, is live and it explores how young people can use their financial choices to make a positive impact on the planet. The second module, launching in 2026, will focus on savings and money management, equipping students with practical tools for financial planning in a net-zero economy.

Delivered by ITZA, One Planet brings together content from organisations including the BBC, Getty Images, HarperCollins, WWF, NatureScot, and the Villars Institute.

Introduced in Scottish schools in 2024, the programme supports teachers in delivering independent, curriculum-aligned learning on sustainability and the green economy.

As ITZA’s first commercial partner, Scottish Building Society is proud to support the development of these innovative learning resources. By focusing on purposeful investment and financial literacy, we aim to help young people understand how their financial decisions can contribute to a more sustainable future.

Paul Denton, Chief Executive said “Scottish Building Society is passionate about teaching children the important role financial understanding and planning will play throughout their lives.  With more than 70% of teenagers identifying the transition to net zero as the defining issue of their generation, we are committed to helping them build the skills they need to thrive”.
