The next step or an irrelevance?

Corporate Social Responsibility Policy We passionately believe that education is the driver for social, economic and environmental change. Therefore the College and it’s community strives to be a role model for other organisations and have a positive impact on everyone who has contact with the College.

Establish environmental and business performance indicators and report annually on progress. Actively work with suppliers and contractors to achieve awareness and commitment to improve their own environmental performance. Work with partners to play a leading role in research and development for sustainable development education.

Embrace the use of new technologies to minimise the impact learning and teaching has on the environment. Promote corporate social responsibility to other organisations and businesses. Promote and support a healthy and sustainable work life balance for all. Increase flexibility and access to learning to promote sustainable economically active inclusive communities. Continually seek new ways to make our teaching, research, business strategies and activities more sustainable.
