Transforming Lives Through Education

We understand the power of education to improve the livelihoods of those who receive it. Yet, access to education remains unequal at best. At Vantage, we've been on the lookout for strong partners where we can maximise our effort to build a more equitable world for everyone, so no one gets left behind. In our new partnership with UNESCO, Vantage is committed to improving access to quality education, so everyone can be empowered through education.

To kick off this partnership, we are pleased to sponsor UNESCO's State of the Education report (SOER) – Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education.

Supercar Blondie joins Vantage in Sardinia, Italy, to participate in Extreme E’s Blue Carbon initiative – during the week of the Extreme E Island X Prix II race – restoring seagrass ecosystems. Seagrass captures carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical rainforests, and while it only covers 0.2% of the seafloor, it absorbs 10% of the ocean’s carbon each year, making it an incredible tool in the fight against climate change.
