Sustainability
Sustainability Newsletter, February 2013 (PDF file)
Universities have a key role to play in the promotion and practice of sustainability with both the Government and HEFCE requiring that sustainability is incorporated into our day-to-day activities as well as our policies and procedures.
The importance we place on sustainability is acknowledged in the 2011-2016 Corporate Plan, which includes the planned action/responsibility to promote the adoption of policies and practices for social responsibility and environmental sustainability.
To move the sustainability agenda forward we have established a Sustainability Group. Through the work of this group we hope to increase environmental awareness amongst staff and students to build a sustainable future for all. Specific initiatives at St Mary’s are described in the St Mary's Environmental Statement (PDF File) and include:
- Sustainable procurement policies
- Increasing recycling across campus
- Reducing our use of resources
- Fairtrade University Status
- Promote the Travel Plan (PDF File)
- Producing a sustainability newsletter aimed at staff and students
The campus map below features locations that are relevant to our sustainability strategy. You can also view the map in a larger format.
