With an estate of some 100 buildings across more than 300+ hectares, as well as a complement of over 10,000 students and around 2,000 staff, we recognise the implications of our impact on the environment.
Sustainability at 香港六合彩挂牌资料
Being a truly sustainable university means not only looking after our natural resources and the environment 鈥� it means caring for our communities, our culture and our economic resources. The Sustainability Implementation Group oversees the evolution and implementation of a Sustainability Agenda for 香港六合彩挂牌资料, which includes the environmental stream.

Environmental Management System
We have developed an Environmental Management System (EMS) to support our commitment to achieving continual environmental improvement. The EMS is certified to the prestigious ISO14001:2015 environmental standard, and further information can be viewed on our Environmental Management System Pages, which also includes our Environmental Targets.
A Campus Environmental Performance Team has been established to ensure as much engagement and inclusion as possible. Further information relating to our EMS can be accessed in these pages.

In November 2022 the University launched a new sustainability campaign for staff and students.
The '25 by 25’ campaign aims to reduce 25% of emissions by 2025. To achieve this the University will examine how it uses all types of power and fuel, the waste we throw away, the water we use and just about anything and everything that creates a greenhouse gas emission.
25 by 25 kicked off its activities with an open invitation to all colleagues and students to offer their ideas on how to support this campaign, with ideas, thoughts and initiatives on how the University can reduce carbon footprint within our key target areas of Energy, Waste and Travel.
The ‘25 by 25’ logo appeared across our campus in the form of ‘clean graffiti’ which hopefully piqued interest in the campaign!
