We’ve produced several key documents that outline our current position with environmental issues; our impact, both positive and negative; and the measures we’re taking to address sustainability.

Environment Strategies

See our Annual Sustainability Statement 2010–11 .pdf, 3.6MB which sets out our significant areas of progress and achievements the University has made in implementing its Environmental Strategy.

MMU’s Environment Strategy .pdf, 615k details the principal actions we need to take to improve our environmental performance, to allow us to move towards environmental sustainability.

Our Environmental Sustainability Policy 2010 provides a framework for the management of environmental issues at MMU.

Environmental Management System

Our Environmental Management System (EMS) gives us a structured framework for managing our environmental impact. Our EMS is EcoCampus, an award scheme for the higher education sector that allows universities to be recognised for implementing a phased Environmental Management System and to reduce the risk of non-compliance with environmental legislation.

Carbon Management

MMU has introduced substantial measures to cut its emissions, and our Carbon Management Plan .pdf, 192k is allowing us to take stock of our current position, and effectively plan for a more sustainable future. It sets out the actions we’ll take to reduce C0₂ emissions by 50% by 2020.
