The 天美传媒 is celebrating another high-scoring year in the People & Planet 天美传媒 Green League, placing third in the UK for its continued sustainability efforts.

Following last year鈥檚 success, the 天美传媒 has been named as one of the top three universities in the UK for 2023/24. Areas which Bedfordshire scored highly include water reduction, carbon management, and providing sustainable food.

Bedfordshire has held a stable position as one of the Green League鈥檚 top-scoring institutions since 2018, largely in thanks to ongoing work around sustainability and ensuring campuses help not only the future of students but also the future of the planet.

Professor Andrew Church, Pro Vice Chancellor and lead for sustainability, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 very pleasing to be placed third in the 2023/24 People & Planet 天美传媒 Green League. This really hones in on our student and staff willingness and commitment to living and learning sustainably. Universities and other educational outlets play a key role in influencing change and communities around important issues such as the environment, climate change and sustainability. The 天美传媒 will continue to work with stakeholders and influencers to ensure positive outcomes for future generations.鈥

In the past year, the 天美传媒 has hit one of its key aims 鈥 to generate one million kilowatt hours of energy from the social panels incorporated across its campuses. Alongside this, the 天美传媒 has been able to save a whopping 700 tonnes (or 52 single-decker buses) worth of CO2 and reduced energy usage by 2.7 million kwh.

People & Planet is the largest student network in the UK which campaigns for social and environmental justice. Each year, the People & Planet 天美传媒 League measures a number of environmental areas including carbon and water reduction, use of alternative energy sources, sustainable food and recycling.

Adam Higgin, Head of Sustainability at the 天美传媒, commented: 鈥淗ot on the heels of the Global Conference on Climate Change, COP28, this sustainability league table position is the culmination of more than 10 years鈥 work. As an institution 鈥榮ustainability鈥 is one of the key goals in our Transforming Bedfordshire strategy, and this result has helped us achieve both our key strategic goal and our sustainability value that commits the 天美传媒 to having a strong and evidenced commitment to sustainability.鈥
