Policies
Setting out our commitments and objectives for environmental sustainability and energy use.
Managing the University's energy and environmental impacts
Our Environmental Sustainability, and Energy policies are important aspects of our sustainability work. They form a core part of our Energy and Environmental Management Systems, and guide our environmental action across the University in areas from biodiversity to waste, water to power. Check out our summary of the Environmental Sustainability Policy below, or read through both policies in full via the buttons beneath.
More information on our Environmental and Energy Management Systems can be found on our website, or on our blog.
