Our campus and operations are an important focus of our sustainability strategy.  They constitute part of our three stranded approach (tri-cameral) to managing sustainability, alongside our work on teaching and research. 

Through the Office of Procurement and Sustainability we seek to develop and manage sustainable resource strategies for our estate, procurement of goods and services, and travel and transport arrangements.

​“Sustainability is not just about the environment – it incorporates financial and social responsibility as
well. The decisions we make must take them all into account, and there is an intricate tension in getting that balance right. So at Plymouth, we take a holistic view, working together across procurement and sustainability, research, and the curriculum. We call it a ‘tricameral approach to the triple bottom line’.
