Sustainable practices

Conserving resources, reducing carbon emissions and advancing the sustainability of our operations.

Our main focus for carbon has been to save energy in buildings and to minimise the materials we use and waste.

The University has been monitoring, measuring and working to reduce energy use for 40 years.

Since 2007, the University has been monitoring, measuring and reporting internally on landfill wastes, and separation for recycling.

We save water by including water-efficient operating plant, fittings and equipment in our buildings.

Paper is an area where small changes in an individual’s behaviour can make a big difference.
