The University aims to be a sustainability and climate change leader regionally, nationally and internationally; delivered via transformation in its operation and via collaboration in its educational, research, international and impact activities, demonstrating innovation, influence and action.

To enable this, environmental and sustainable considerations in the purchase of all ‘bought goods and services’ needs to be adopted across the University. This will ensure goods, services, works and utilities and practices meet the intention of the Environment and Climate Emergency (E&CE) Policy, value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organisation, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimising damage to the environment.
