Governance  

We are committed to transparency and will hold ourselves to account for the delivery of the commitments set out in this document through a new Sustainability Committee, which reports to the University’s Senior Leadership Team.

You can find out more about the governance arrangements for the Sustainability Strategy by visiting our governance webpages.  

Our progress will be publicly reported through the University’s annual Financial Statements, and in our annual Sustainable Development Goals report. Environmental data will continue to be reported through the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and our progress towards net zero will be reported using the sector specific Standardised Carbon Emissions Framework. 

Sustainability is part of the University’s annual audit cycle, and findings are reported to University Council as part of our assurance processes.  

The Sustainability Team will play a crucial role in coordinating and reporting on key activities, but it is everyone’s responsibility within the University community to embrace and drive forward our shared commitments in-line with the University’s values.
