Sustainability

At the Business School we are committed to embedding sustainability in everything we do. We’re drawing on the diverse expertise of our students, staff and partners to tackle global challenges and become greener and more sustainable, and we use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to frame and steer our activity.

We’re dedicated to:

  • making the School more environmentally friendly
  • taking responsibility in educating business leaders of the future who align business with ethical and sustainable principles
  • providing a research environment that allows the necessary questions for a transformative change of economy and society to be addressed
  • providing the infrastructure that allows sustainable practices in teaching, research and daily operations
