Sustainability

The College’s ambition is to be net zero carbon for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and we are exploring the feasibility and likely timescales to achieve this goal. We are taking steps towards this goal by including ESG considerations in our decision-making processes, as well as by reducing energy consumption, waste and other causes of emissions.

We are already tracking our Scope 1 and 2 emissions and taking steps to reduce them. Thanks to the efforts of students, staff and Fellows substantial reductions have been made and we are working hard to make further cuts. The complex process of calculating the College’s Scope 3 emissions is also under way and we will announce our target for achieving net zero carbon once we have a clear idea of the scale of that undertaking and a detailed plan for achieving it.
