As an institution, we are committed to sustainability and this is embedded within our Core Strategic Values; Professional, Responsive, Creative, Inspiring and Collaborative. It also ensures we meet the requirements of the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations Act. 


We have developed a number of key documents to demonstrate our commitment to ongoing carbon reduction and to ensure we remain on target to achieve our objectives. These policies and strategies reflect our priorities and will shape our journey towards embedding sustainability across USW in our everyday activities.
