Environmental Policy 2009
The University shows its commitment to environmental best practice.
The University of Sheffield is a large organisation which has over 23,000 students, 6000 staff and several hundred buildings. Due to the size and nature of the activities the University has some significant environmental impacts affecting the local and global environment.
The University recognises its impact and has made a corporate commitment to improving its environmental performance by developing and adopting an Environmental Policy. This has been in place since 1997 (and revised in 2008) and provides the framework for all our work, whether it be in relation to energy saving, waste and recycling or sustainable transport.
The Energy & Environment Team has responsibility for implementing the environmental policy throughout the University and its activities. Please click on the link to the right to download the latest version of the Environmental Policy and please get in touch if you'd like more information.
