  20. UTC 08-09 56 Participants (25 CR Index, 31 Environment) Observations - Impact Areas: Some starting to capture GHG Scope 3 in their carbon measures - report on their bigger carbon footprint (inc. waste, travel for work, staff/student commuting, leased property, etc) Environment third impact area: Order of popularity (1) travel (2) building & design (3) biodiversity Teaching, Learning & Research: 22/26 (seven as one of their three ‘scored’ impact areas)

  21. Areas for improvement Strategic decision making Leadership training - in terms of Sustainable Development Sustainable Procurement Performance management and reward Public reporting of ‘performance’ – especially ‘social impact’; HSW, employee satisfaction, community benefits

  23. How was it for me… Honest - proud but modest Enlightening - so much more than ‘universities’ Culture - strategic plan, language, approach to survey, visits, ‘old’ or ‘new’ Improvement mentality - always striving to do better Themes/branding - employability, enterprise, knowledge, research, international, etc Outreach and WP – have to do it BUT all do it very well! Balanced score card – good for demonstrating links between core values, HEI objectives, staff, and KPIs

  24. How was it for me… Carbon reduction culture in ‘Estates’: Footprinting Common KPI (energy emissions, waste, travel) Research and technology Expertise in management (ecocampus, CT) Sustainable Development is ‘officially’ a priority: Strategic plans Curriculum review Creative ways to improve academic spread Cross-cutting theme Linking to wellbeing
