NTU has been classed as one of the most sustainable universities in the UK for the past eight years and has also been ranked in the top five most sustainable universities globally (2021). We ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability is part of what we do and support our partners and suppliers to do the same.
Our Net Zero Carbon (NZC) programme contains various workstreams and projects. Covering areas such as Supply Chain, Energy & Water, Travel & Transport and Partner Accommodation, there’s plenty of opportunity to make a difference.
In line with our Embracing Sustainability strategy, we’re focused on reducing our carbon footprint by 24% by the end of the current strategic plan in 2025 and by 50% by 2030. We’re looking for people with a passion for sustainability to join our large team. In whichever role you choose, you’ll be critical in reducing our environmental impact by identifying opportunities and implementing change through the work you do.
