To us, sustainability means creating value for society by taking responsibility for our economic, cultural, social and environmental impacts. We draw on the diverse expertise of our students, staff and partners to collaborate in finding sustainable solutions to global challenges, and to maintain our position as world-leaders in sustainability.
Sustainability is a journey. Though society may not have all of the answers now, we are committed to using the University’s assets to tackle global challenges.
