Sustainable Aston
Keeping green and sustainable
Our Green Team aim to keep our campus one of the greenest and most sustainable in the country and have a range of projects to achieve this, including the ISO 14001, ISO 5001 and Eco-campus Platinum environmental and energy management systems. Our efforts have helped place the University 9th in the 2019 People and Planet University Green League.
We’re also committed to meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which include social and ethical commitments beyond the environment alone. Here’s how we’re working towards some of the top objectives.
- Sustainability Strategy 2020-2024
