Our Environmental Management System (EMS) is externally certified to ISO 14001:2015, and supports our Sustainability Policy. The scope of the EMS covers the University Bailrigg Estate, Health Innovation Campus and Chancellors Wharf and covers all campus activities and operations. We are audited every six months by external auditors to ensure compliance with the ISO14001 standard.
Having an EMS provides a clearly structured and documented framework through which our direct environmental impacts and risks can be managed. For example, issues identified during regular environmental audits have helped the university to improve waste segregation and recycling.
