Environmental Sustainability Governance

Actions towards our sustainability goals are the responsibility of the College’s Environmental Sustainability Working Group, which was founded in 2023 to oversee the development and delivery of an Environmental Sustainability strategy. The Working Group members include Fellows, College Officers, support staff members and representatives from the student body.The Group is chaired by the Environmental Sustainability Fellow who, is elected to provide oversight of all our sustainability work.

The actions are then discussed at the termly Property & Environment Committee, and Accommodation, Catering & Conferences (ACC) Committee. These Committees are also made up of College Fellows, College Officers, support staff members and representatives from the student body. The ACC Committee also has a Food Sustainability Working Group, which looks at initiatives to make our food provision and management as sustainable as possible.

Following discussion at Committee level, those actions taken forward will be proposed to the College’s Governing Body for approval.

The College’s current Environmental Sustainability Fellow is Professor Tim Coulson.
