EcoCampus

The planning and management of the entire university estate is an important factor in ensuring that the most sustainable proactices are used, where possible. To this end, the university has signed up to the EcoCampus scheme.

EcoCampus is a national Environmental Management System (EMS) and award scheme. It helps the university to systematically and continuously identify, evaluate, manage and improve their environmental performance and practices in various progressive phases. It is closely aligned to ISO 14001 which is the international EMS standard and is applied across all university activities.

In February 2012 the university was awarded the Bronze level of the EcoCampus scheme.  This signified that the university has successfully been through the ‘planning’ stage of the programme.

The university has now suscessfully been awarded the next stage of the award, Silver. This was awarded as the university have identified and ranked its major environmental impacts and aspects, ensured the university is aware of all legal requirements and that the university has a publically accessible sustainability policy
