Environmental management is an essential element of sustainability and sustainable development at De Montfort University and is a cornerstone of the University’s Sustainability Strategy.

The University is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities at the local, regional, national and global levels.

The University has set out its commitments to the environment in its Environmental Policy and has already made considerable progress in addressing environmental issues through its travel planning, recycling and energy saving activities.

The University is also introducing an environmental management system (EMS). The EMS is a structured process to identify and manage the activities of the University which have a significant impact upon the environment. Progress on managing these activities will be reported to the University’s Sustainable Development Task Force to ensure that the University is continuing to demonstrate continual improvement in its environmental performance.
