SORTED Guide to Sustainability in Further Education – Part 5 - Estates and Operations

Good management of buildings and estates, when put in a broader sustainability context, can contribute positively towards sustainable development in key areas such as:

Reducing an estate’s environmental impact through better management of wastes and energy.
Raising the environmental awareness and responsibility of all staff and students. For example, through implementing an environmental policy or formal Environmental Management System (which requires all individuals in the organisation to be given environmental training).
Improved presence and reputation within the community. For example, through greening the supply chain and encouraging local procurement, as well as ensuring sound physical appearance of buildings.
