About Us
Kingston University understands that Higher Education Institutions have the exciting opportunity of inspiring, educating and developing generations of students and staff communities who will take their experiences of sustainable behaviour into their everyday lives, work, and careers.
As such we are committed to fostering a culture of sustainable practice throughout the University, ensuring we contribute positively to the economy, environment and society from the local to the global scale.
Our award-winning Sustainability Hub acts as a focal point for this work, overseeing the implementation of the Universities EMS, as well as spear-heading engagement campaigns, research projects and ESD curriculum development.
Meet the Hub team.
As an organisation we strive to ensure that we:
- minimise our detrimental environmental impacts
- operate in a socially and economically beneficial manner in terms of our immediate local setting in particular and in wider regional and global contexts
- Act as a lead in the local community in terms of best environmental and sustainability practice
- Implement measures to ensure equitable access to its educational services from all sectors of the global society
- Offer curricula, research and consultancy that are relevant and pertinent to the 21st century
We are proud of the unique journey we have been on to embed these practices into our organisation and consistently score a ‘1st’ in the People and Planet Green League. Read our story so far if you are interested in our grassroots model of organisational behaviour change.
