Our green and sustainable campus

We're working hard to reduce our impact on the environment.

We signed the United Nations Sustainable Development Accord in 2021 and these are just some of our current initiatives:

  • Plastic bottles: Our free water refill machines have saved more than 29,000 plastic bottles.
  • Waste management: We maximise recycling across the campus including hazardous waste.
  • Energy management: We use low carbon electricity, solar panels, rainwater harvesting and more.
  • Bike Hire: Our MDXFreeWheelers, free parking, free showering and changing facilities support sustainable travel.
  • Biodiversity: Green walls, green roofs, bee hives, minimal grass cutting, pond refurbishment and hedgehog boxes are just some of our biodiversity initiatives.
  • Food: We use ethical and sustainable products wherever we can and source local, fresh and seasonal food as often as possible.
