Biodiversity
Our University has signed the Nature Positive Pledge – a commitment to start a Nature Positive journey to halt and reverse nature loss, and to actively restore biodiversity and ecosystems affected by our activities.
Circular Economy
We’re developing a strategy for a more circular campus based on the three main pillars of Circular Economy: Eliminating waste and pollution, Reusing and circulating materials, and Regenerating nature.
Energy
We’re working to achieve Net Zero on direct emissions and the energy we buy by 2030 and to get to Net Zero for indirect emissions by 2050. Our Energy Strategy is based on three principles: Reduce, Decarbonise, Smart.
Engagement and Partnerships
We work in partnership with teams across the campus and offer events and opportunities that empower staff and students to get involved and adopt more environmentally conscious behaviours.
Responsible Sourcing
In collaboration with the Procurement Teams the Sustainability Champions are working to influence an increase in responsible sourcing within the University supply chain.
Food on Campus
By collaborating across the commercial outlets, the vision is to be sustainable and socially responsible University that showcases local produce, promotes healthier eating options and supports our environment.
