Driving Themes
The strategy will cover four main areas: estates, operations, curriculum and engagement. By focusing our actions in these four areas, we will: • Take measures to reduce the carbon footprint of the College’s estate and commercial activities. • Improve the College’s delivery of sustainability-related skills to aid the reduction of CO 2 e emissions and improve environmental sustainability. • Take steps to raise community awareness of environmental sustainability and the opportunities for better environmental policy and practice.
Key Milestones This strategy outlines our long-term vision for carbon reduction and improving environmental sustainability. We recognise that it will change over time and therefore, it is crucial we set interim targets to give focus and measure our success against our long-term goals. The illustration on the right shows the milestones this strategy aims to achieve:
50% of staff trained in
Eliminate the sale and
‘carbon literacy’ by the end of the 2023/24 academic year, and 100% of staff by the end of the 2025/26 academic year
