Sustainability Champions Network (Future Page)

The University! has a dedicated team to manage sustainability across our campus. In addition, a number of groups, committees and senior management staff have sustainability responsibilities as detailed below (hover over the staff pictures for information on their experience and responsibilities). Progress against our sustainability objectives/strategy is reported to the Environmental Sustainability Committee (ESC), and to the University Executive Board (via ESC), through our annual Environmental Sustainability Report.

Sustainability Groups and Committees

Environmental Management Review Group (EMRG)

This group is responsible for reviewing the Environment & Energy Management System (EEMS) and supporting the implementation of the system to ensure it meets the ISO14001 and ISO50001 criteria. In addition, the group is responsible for monitoring compliance with environmental related obligations and ensuring that University procedures meet these statutory and voluntary requirements, as well as the objectives set out in the Policy. Membership includes staff from across the University and from RUSU to represent the student body. The Management Review is reported on to the Environmental Sustainability Committee (ESC), and to the University Executive Board (via ESC).

Environmental Sustainability Committee (ESC)

The ESC is responsible for overseeing the creation and delivery of the University’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy, through the operation of six workstreams; biodiversity & green infrastructure, carbon management, catering commerce & farms, civic & community engagement, education for sustainable development, and waste & resource use. ESC reports to the University Executive Board (UEB). The full terms of reference can be requested by emailing Sustainability at sustainability@reading.ac.uk.
