Sustainability on campus

We put the principles of sustainability that we teach and research into practice. We are minimising carbon emissions, energy use, transport, waste and water.

Energy

For over a decade we’ve been actively working on a range of initiatives to reduce our energy consumption. You can join us and become involved on campus.

Transport

We encourage sustainable travel choices for getting to and from campus each day, attending conferences out of town or getting from campus to campus.

Waste

Minimising waste to landfill is something that everyone on campus can actively support.

Water

Across our buildings and grounds we are working to conserve water and have made significant improvements over the last few years.

Buildings and grounds

As our University grows, new buildings and refurbished spaces are created with a focus on sustainability through design, construction and operation.

Carbon footprint

We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving a goal of net zero carbon by 2030.
