About sustainability at BCU
BCU is the most sustainable university in Birmingham and one of the most sustainable universities in the UK. We have been awarded a 2:1 ranking in the People & Planet University League 24/25 and we are actively encouraging and integrating sustainable practices into the daily lives of our students and staff.
As an educational institution, we recognise our responsibility to not only educate our community about sustainable practices but also to lead by example through our own actions. By continuously reducing our environmental impact, we strive to foster a culture of sustainability that benefits both our campus and the broader community.
Sustainability objectives
Birmingham City University is dedicated to advancing sustainability and minimising environmental impact. Our objectives include embedding sustainability in our processes, reducing the environmental impacts of our operations, and creating a green culture with BCU, locally and globally.
By adopting innovative technologies and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility, we aim to lead by example and inspire our community to engage in sustainable living and contribute to a greener future.
