Sustainability
What does sustainability mean to Coventry University?
Sustainability weaves across the University; through operational impacts, the benefits our research brings to local and global challenges, the volunteering activities our students undertake, our place within the local community, the knowledge and skills shared on and off campus and the partnerships and collaborations we bring.
The University has a number of teams working on sustainability activities, including the Environment team in Estates; CSR team in Marketing and External Affairs; Coventry University Students Union; academic and research teams such as the School of Energy, Construction and Environment; the Centre for Business in Society; and the Centre for Trust, Peace and Human Relations, and many more.
