Purchasing and consumption can have far reaching impacts; production drives natural resource depletion and poor working conditions, whilst waste disposal pollutes natural habitats. As a leading university, we are rethinking our behaviours to address unsustainable consumption. We want to choose products that are best for people and planet – as a result, we’re aiming to reduce waste per person by 20% by 2024 and become a single-use plastic free university.
UCL recognises that in order to achieve its ambitious sustainability objectives, we need our partners and suppliers to be on board. See our collaborations.
Central to “The Loop” is taking drastic and innovative steps to address and minimise slavery and exploitation throughout our supply chain. See what actions we are taking.
