Sustainability in Health and Life Sciences

This week marks the University's annual Sustainability Week, featuring a programme of exciting and informative activities for staff and students to get involved in. With issues such as climate change, rising energy costs and food security high on the news agenda, everyone from large businesses to individual homeowners are increasingly mindful of their environmental impact and are actively seeking ways to reduce it. As a Faculty, we're actively addressing this challenge. Through procedural changes and a shift in our culture, we are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint. In this update, we spotlight the work we are doing to improve our laboratory and travel sustainability, and introduce some of the people at the forefront of these efforts.
