Reporting on Progress
Each term, the Sustainability Team reports to the University's Health, Safety and Environment Committee. The Committee comprises representatives from the Strategic Executive team, Heads of Department, academic representatives, Professional Services, the Students' Union, and trade unions. Progress, challenges and targets within each of the four strategic themes are presented to the committee, which oversees and has input into the strategic development of sustainability at the University. At the start of the academic year a summary report is presented to the University Council and included within the University's Annual Review (previous editions are available on the Annual Review archive).
