The FST Sustainability Advisory Committee was established in 2020 to support, inform and guide environmental sustainability activity across the Faculty and within FST departments. The Committee aims to facilitate the sharing of good practice and enable communication in both directions between departments and individuals/groups with responsibility for sustainability at an institutional level.
Specifically, the FST Sustainability Advisory Committee’s purpose is to:
- Support the development of departmental sustainability groups;
- Support the development and implementation of departmental and themed cross-department sustainability action plans
- Oversee the implementation of the Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan, including progress monitoring and reporting
- Identify and address emerging sustainability-related issues, and agree where Faculty or University support is required.
The FST Sustainability Advisory Committee meets on a twice-termly basis during the academic year. Its membership includes representation from all staff groups, and UG and PG students.
