LJMU earns environmental recognition

LJMU has been recognised for its environmental initiatives on campus following an external inspection.

EcoCampus, an environmental management scheme for higher and further education, has awarded the university silver status.

Auditors visited LJMU for a tour of our facilities, to interview members of staff and review environmental and sustainability policies and procedures.

The award demonstrates that LJMU meets the required standards for silver and is well placed to work towards gold status.

Professor Laura Bishop, LJMU Pro-Vice Chancellor (Science), said: “We’re delighted that our environmental and sustainability commitment has been recognised by the EcoCampus auditors.

“At LJMU, we strive to embed sustainability and responsible environmental management in every element of our work, from the curriculum to our operational activity on campus. The Safety, Health, and Environment and Estate Development teams have been central to these efforts.

“We have set out our ambitions in the LJMU Climate Action Plan and this award from EcoCampus clearly demonstrates the excellent progress we are making towards those targets.”
