Environmental Sustainability Vision, Policy and Strategy

The overarching goal of the emerging University Strategy is to secure academic success and a world-leading position on a sustainable basis. As part of the requirement to be sustainable, we are committed to making Durham University one of the most environmentally sustainable universities in the UK. Achieving this goal will require the active commitment of every member of the University community.

Our Environmental Sustainability Vision, Policy and Strategy, is available along with an Action Plan and detailed Key Performance Indicators which are governed by the Environmental Sustainability Strategic Planning Group, covering Policy, Environmental Awareness, Waste, Energy and Emissions, Water, Travel, Procurement, Curriculum, Biodiversity, Sustainable Buildings, and the Community.
