Sustainable Travel Policy (2021)
The Sustainable Travel Policy sets out how all local, national and international travel taken on behalf of the University should take place.
This policy supports our 'Climate Conscious Travel' approach of:
- understanding the environmental impacts of travel and using lower-carbon methods of transport where possible
- minimising the overall number of journeys to reduce carbon emissions
- sequestering the carbon emissions from travel
The policy is also designed to ensure the safety of our staff and students and better manage our finances.
If you need to book travel, visit the Booking Travel webpage.
If you have a question about how to follow the policy, visit our Booking Travel: FAQs (secured) webpage.
