Sustainability is a top priority for the College
We are committed to minimising the environmental impact from our activities. We recognise our corporate responsibility to act in a responsible manner to protect our environment whilst also promoting sustainability issues.
We outline our responsibilities in our Sustainability Commitment Statement, which you can view here.
The College also recently backed the sector wide ‘Scottish Colleges’ Statement of Commitment on the Climate Emergency’, which outlines 10 key actions colleges will deliver to help achieve Scotland’s Net Zero target. You can view the full statement here.
