Green Gown Awards 2016 – Sustainability Reporting – LSE - Finalist

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Environmental Sustainability Report 2014/15 presents LSE’s sustainability developments and achievements from the last academic year, including research, carbon emissions cuts and LSE’s decision to divest from unethical industries.

The report covers four key areas: leadership and governance, campus operations, teaching and research, and engagement and community.

Highlights include LSE research to help European cities become more energy efficient and liveable;  the ‘Global Apollo Programme’ to drive climate change up the global policy agenda; and closer to home, a £2m investment in energy-efficiency retrofits that will cut LSE’s carbon footprint by 8%.
