The University is firmly committed to the principles of sustainability and recognises that our activities impact upon the environment through our routine operations, infrastructural development, and our influence on the wider community.

Universities and colleges have a critical role to play in delivering the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and as such many, including University of Warwick, have signed The SDG Accord. This is a commitment learning institutions are making to one another to do more to deliver the goals, to annually report progress.
