Our sustainability stories

Staff Intranet

We know that climate change and sustainability are important issues for our students and colleagues. That’s why as a College, we're raising awareness of environmental issues and reducing our environmental impact. As part of this, 'our sustainability stories' will be a regular feature in the staff and student newsletters.

Want to find out more about sustainability on campus?

In November, we held our Sustainability Discovery Session. This was an opportunity to discover more about our sustainability-related research, how teams around our College are reducing their environmental impact, and visitors heard from external companies about how they can become more sustainable.

If you missed our Sustainability Discovery Session, you can read about who attended the event in our interactive programme.
