Our sustainability team

Our commitment to sustainability relies upon a strong, collaborative network of staff for the achievement of our 2035 Net Zero carbon targets. Alongside our dedicated Sustainability Team below, we work with a wide network of people from across the university to collate, implement and publicise our broader sustainability work that goes beyond carbon.

Professor Simon Guy, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Sustainability

“Environmental Sustainability has been at the heart of Lancaster University since its foundation with a mission to tackle global environmental challenges both through our teaching and research and our own campus and operations. We're proud that we are now the largest producer of renewable energy of all UK Universities (according to HESA) and are now focused on meeting the challenges of the climate emergency.”
