A Shared Vision for a Sustainable UEL 

Embedding sustainability across the University of East London is about more than just being environmentally friendly; it's about creating a cleaner, greener, kinder, and safer campus for everyone. By putting sustainability at the core of our daily actions, we all stand to benefit from the many rewards and opportunities it will bring.

To achieve this, we need to work together as a team. This means that every one of us — staff and students alike — will consider sustainability in our daily decisions and actions. This includes what we teach and research, the products we buy, how we travel to campus, and how we share this message with our community. It's about challenging ourselves to do better every single day.

To ensure our success, we will establish clear governance structures, policies, and procedures to effectively track our progress. However, the most important part of this journey will be our schools and services working collaboratively and embracing how their work contributes to UEL's vision of a sustainable future.

Our Working together to embed sustainability pledges:

1. We will create governance and management structures that drive sustainability forward and create a culture of accountability across all schools and services.
2. We will have  dedicated teams who coordinate our joint efforts;
3. We will embed sustainability into all our teaching, research and operations;
4. We will establish and support discussion forums and collaborative networks that generate new ideas.
5. We will develop and maintain effective management systems that allow us to track our continual improvement.
