Our Working Environment

At Swansea University we are recognised as a leader in organisational sustainability. Currently in the top fifteen of the Guardian-published People and Planet 'University League', we manage our impact on our environment via our award-winning Environmental Management System.

We have been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for Zero Waste to Landfill and are committed to positive procurement across the institution.
