Play Your Part - Sustainable Campus

Engaging connections with the University community are imperative to support all our efforts towards sustainability. We want to support sustainable action across our campus and work with students and colleagues to decrease the environmental impact of our University.

Watch this space: our Engagement Plan will describe our goals and content for empowering the community and encouraging behaviour change.

Check out our last Sustainability Showcase 2019-2020 which celebrated the varied awareness-raising and impactful sustainability action from colleagues and students across the University.

Information for managers

Every University activity must be conducted in accordance to the University's Environmental Management System (EMS), as required by the University's Executive Board. The EMS is the environmental sustainability equivalent of the University's Health and Safety Management System. This system establishes procedures and processes for the training of colleagues, control of activities, monitoring of impacts and reporting of environmental performance required for any activity conducted by or on behalf of the University which can result in an environmental impact.

Want to encourage sustainable actions in your work area and develop teamwork and project management skills with colleagues?
