Sustainability Governance
The University is striving to adopt a whole-of-institution approach to sustainability management, which we believe will enable us to implement our Climate Change Strategy: Glasgow Green.
Progress in this area is overseen by the Sustainability Working Group, which has the following remit:
- to oversee the implementation of the University's Climate Change Strategy, along with associated environmental strategies and actions plans that sit beneath it.
- to raise awareness of and engagement with the Climate Change Strategy across the University community.
- to make recommendations about future amendments or revisions to the Climate Change Strategy.
- to enhance the University's reputation and profile as an institution that is committed to the sustainability agenda.
- to provide progress reports periodically to SMG and to Court via the Estates Committee.
And the following membership:
- two co-chairs, one of whom is the Chief Operating Officer.
- College Sustainability Champions.
- University Services Sustainability Champion.
- two representatives of the SRC.
- three coordinators from the GUEST student sustainability team.
- one senior officer from Estates & Commerical Services.
- Head of Procurement.
Also in attendance:
- Sustainability Manager.
- Communications and Public Affairs Officer (as required).
