Staff Environmental Champions

Schools, Departments and Faculties within the University have dedicated Environmental Champions (EC). They serve to enable sound environmental behaviors and practices across all the University's campuses, ensuring that the University achieves its Sustainability Strategy targets.

Their informal roles include to:

  1. Promote environmental practices that reduce energy and resource consumption and the environmental impacts of behaviors and workplace activities;
  2. Identify and discuss new ideas to reduce the environmental impact of the operations and practices within their Schools, Departments, Faculty and professional service areas, feeding back suggestions to the Sustainability Steering Group;
  3. Attend meetings with other ECs, and University wide events, to share and disseminate information on good practices and initiatives underway in their respective units of the University.

Please support your local Environmental Champion and contact them with any ideas you may have for advancing our sustainability practices. We welcome your suggestions.
