Why sustainable lab practices matter
Labs are critical to innovation and discovery, but they also consume large amounts of energy, water, and materials. By embedding sustainable best practices into everyday lab operations, we can significantly reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and support a healthier, more responsible teaching and research culture.
Sustainability commitment in action
The University’s Sustainability Framework commits us to ensuring our campus operations, environments and engagement activities confront sustainability challenges.
