Sustainable SU Action Plan

We’re really pleased to launch the next stage of our Sustainable SU Action Plan!

Our updated action plan demonstrates a clear, three-year (AY 2026-2029) framework to establish, strengthen and embed sustainability across the SU.

It builds on our key strength of being student led. Students tell us and want us to do more for the sustainability.
It’s ambitious and agile. It recognises staff and student leaders’ capacity while aiming for real impact.
It’s integrated by design. Sustainability, wherever possible is embedded into existing work, not an extra burden
It’s aligned to our strategy. We’ve looked at linking this plan to our Organisational Development Plan and SU Strategy and is transparent and accountable to board.

Each area gets a guiding principle to shape decisions and plans over the next three years.

There’s a set of indicative actions. They are flexible and act as guide and can be updated annually as needs evolve.

Wherever possible, we’ve tied this to our SU Strategy so we can measure our impact.

Delivery is supported by our Sustainable SU Steering Group and SLT report progress Board.

It prioritises actions that integrate into existing activities or where there’s new opportunities.

We know there’s always more we can and should be doing for sustainability.

This plan is ongoing and agile, so we’re seeking feedback from staff and Student Leaders.

Please share comments, concerns, questions and suggestions relevant to any of our areas.
