Our sustainability mission

We will:
- Pass on to, and learn from others’ best practice.
- Send our students out into the world best equipped to attenuate climate change, and build resilience to it.
- Achieve the highest possible level of sustainable behaviour in our labs, offices and teaching areas.
Sustainable Development Goals
Our sustainability efforts will work to meet the University's Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations.
