What we're doing
At NTSU, we want to embed sustainability into everything we do.
This is why we've just released an ambitious sustainability strategy to hold us accountable and ensure we're always transparent about our progress. But that isn't all we've done...
- Appointed our new Sustainability Officer (welcome Hettie)
- Achieved an Excellent Standard in Green Impact Students' Union for 2022-23 (What is this?).
- Presented our plans to the Board of Trustees (i.e., the important decision-makers of the Union)
- Began our journey to earn our ISO14001 certification (This is an ongoing project estimated to take up to three years. Once complete, we will likely be the UK's first Students' Union to have this).
- Re-writen our Environmental Policy.
- Created the organisation's first Sustainability Strategy.
- Secured the EcoCampus Silver Certificate.
- Calculated our baseline carbon footprint (2021/22).
What's next for us?
- Calculate our carbon footprint on an annual basis. Next up 2022-23 academic year.
- Work towards our Silver EcoCampus certification.
- Write and publish a Sustainable Procurement Policy.
