Culture and diversity

We aim to develop and support a culture of engagement and collaboration around sustainability issues within our local and wider community. We are doing this by empowering staff and students to incorporate sustainable practices into their work and personal lives and to by helping develop the knowledge and skills to champion sustainable processes and behaviours.

A truly sustainable institution needs equality and cultural diversity and we recognise that focus should not only be targeted on environmental resources but should also be focused on sustaining our social resources too. Our Sustainability Strategy is aligned with our diversity and equality goals, which includes creating a vibrant and sustainable environment for our staff and students that is progressive and inclusive which allows us to adopt sustainable practices in all our activities. We are committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, which has goals on Reduced Inequalities, Gender Equality, and Peace, Justice and Strong Institution. 

The Communications and Engagement Group ensures that environmental and social sustainability is embedded across the institution and are continuously developing a series of initiatives and activities to achieve our sustainability aspirations.
