It is essential to our sustainability work, and we want to engage with and support all our staff and students so we can act together as a community, to help tackle the climate emergency in a collaborative way.

It is essential that staff and students engage with us and our sustainability strategy. We involve our communities in the development and reviews of our sustainability strategy, policy, and decision-making. If you would like to contribute your thoughts, we’d love to hear from you
