Our community is essential to the success of our sustainability initiatives.
Our staff and students are the driving force behind our sustainability efforts across teaching, research, policy, and operations, and advancing the key goals of our Sustainability Plan. We are developing networks and mechanisms to enable our whole University community to feed into decision making and empower them to take action on sustainability.
To advance our sustainability goals, we have carefully developed a governance structure, including the Sustainability Steering Group, to embed sustainability and our Sustainability Plan into every aspect of University life.
University's Sustainability Steering Group
The University's Sustainability Steering Group provides strategic leadership for implementing and delivering our Sustainability Plan 2021–2030.
This group is a University Executive Board (UEB) subcommittee, represented by staff and students that is responsible for shaping the overarching vision for sustainability, recommending it to the UEB for approval by Council. As the central body for sustainability governance, it develops and oversees the Plan, ensuring alignment with the University's overall strategy and reporting to the UEB.
Chaired by Professor Sarah Thompson, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, the group includes a diverse range of members from across the University community.
