SR&S strategy review

The University is to review its Social Responsibility & Sustainability Strategy, and welcomes staff and student input.

The strategy, which was adopted in 2010, sets out the University's longstanding commitment to promoting and embedding social responsibility and sustainability within its academic and support departments.

The review, to be completed in the next few months, will assess progress made over the past four years and identify gaps in order to develop a refreshed set of ambitions and actions.
