FutureProof

Staff:

The sustainability team will engage with each department to promote the project and identify what benefits it could bring to that department. We will also work with that department to identify a key individual that can act the department’s Sustainability Champion.

The Sustainability Champions are the key to the projects success therefore training is at the heart of the project. A series of workshops will run throughout the year on key issues e.g. climate change, resource use, supply chains, food, etc… There will also be skills workshops that focus on communication, leadership, marketing, systems thinking and problem solving.  For these skills workshops sustainability will be used as the theme, however, these skills are transferable to a wide variety of workplace needs for staff and students.

Once a champion is in place the sustainability team will work with the champion to design bespoke actions and objectives for the department based on the department's impact, priorities and timescales.

Students:

Students can get involved with FutureProof through volunteering opportunities, FutureProof Projects in their Schools, engaging with student societies and groups or bringing projects forward themselves to the Sustainability Team. You can find out who your School's Champion is on our Sustainability Champions page, or view current opportunities and groups on our Get Involved page.
