Sustainability Office
Tari Toit奴 te Taiao
The UC Sustainability Office is a hub on campus for individuals and groups keen to create positive change and promote sustainable practices at and in the wider community. Meet the team at our Sustainability Office.
The Sustainability Office organises events, communicates pathways for change, promotes sustainability and supports a network of individuals and working groups across campus and wider community. We are a resource for staff, students and the wider community who want to connect with sustainable-minded others and create change in their own lives and spaces.
UC Sustainability Office roles are:
- To help people see how sustainability relates to their area of work, research, studies and their wider lives.
- To provide focus for the University in achieving its strategic goals regarding sustainability and environmental leadership.
- To foster a culture of people prepared to make a difference in creating socio-ecologically sustainable societies.
- To value, support and recognise people for sustainable efforts and participation.
In 2019, a Sustainability Programme Board was established to oversee the work surrounding the sustainability section in the new听University Strategic Vision 2020-2030.

- Please supply Cleaning Services with an internal requisition form, including the department, contact person's name and number, and your requested document-destruct bin size (120 L or 240 L).
