Environmental sustainability is one of the most important issues facing society. Large organisations, such as Universities, can have a significant impact through embedding sustainable development into education, reducing carbon emissions and cutting waste.
At Queen Mary Students' Union, we are committed to embedding sustainability in all that we do…

We support students to run environmental campaigns and initiatives to champion institution-wide sustainable change relating to social and environmental impact on campus.
This includes our sustainability societies such as:
We ensure that our positive impact extends beyond campus through providing opportunities for students to volunteer and have a direct impact on the local environment and local communities.
We're launching a new space to work together to tackle issues and share ideas relating to ethical and sustainable investments and partnerships.
