Concerns around environmental issues locally, nationally and internationally have continued to grow in prominence, and this in turn has seen a distinct increase in the appetite and expectation for sustainability action within the University. This has also been evident in the appetite for sustainability to feature within the University\u2019s new core Strategy. The 2019\/20 academic year promises to be an exciting one for sustainability, and one in which we can set new expectations for our ongoing environmental leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cutting Carbon\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having now exceeded 40% carbon reductions since our 2008\/09 baseline year, and on track to reach 43% &#8211; 45% reduction by 2021. The programme has delivered \u00a330 million in cumulative revenue savings since 2011. This year alone, we have installed over 500 individual solar panels, at Whiteknights, London Road, Greenlands and Thames Valley Science Park. Meanwhile, energy efficiency continues to play a key role, such as in IT\u2019s upgrades and rationalisation of the University\u2019s central servers, which have delivered almost 100 tCO2 and \u00a345,000 of annual savings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reducing Waste\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The recycling rate has remained reasonably static at just over 50%. However, the University&#8217;s target for total waste reductions per person has been massively exceeded, with a 15.5% reduction compared to a target of 5%. Over the last 3 years, the Waste Strategy has delivered cumulative revenue savings of \u00a3213,400.<br \/>\nThe re-use schemes have continued to expand, with almost 20 tonnes of \u2018waste\u2019 furniture\/<br \/>\nequipment being put back into circulation this year, delivering further avoided costs of \u00a390,000<br \/>\nover 2 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Changing Behaviour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our behaviour change platform JUMP saw over 16,000 sustainability actions reported in just 9 months.\u00a0 This demonstrates how small combined actions can add up to big impacts.
