Sustainability
We are working towards a more sustainable future. We are doing this by embedding social and environmental justice throughout our research, education and partnering activities and across our campus.
We are committed to making positive changes towards a more sustainable society through our research and education, and through the actions we take as an organisation to embed sustainability in everything we do.
