Sustainability Group
About us
The M25 Consortium Sustainability Working Group supports a major theme of the M25 Consortium of Academic Libraries’ Strategy 2023-2026 – “Sustainability: Acting sustainably”. This theme was formed in response to member needs around information sharing and best practice in this area.
Our current focus is on environmental sustainability, however this will be reviewed by the Group and expanded to consider sustainability more broadly as needed, with economic, social and environmental sustainability interlinked.
Key responsibilities:
- Regularly gather information from member institutions, and other relevant organisations, about sustainability initiatives, analyse responses and disseminate via reports and events.
- Provide opportunities for staff at member institutions to network and share initiatives, needs, and challenges around sustainability in London and the South.
- Provide an online toolkit of sustainability resources.
- Highlight guidance and recommendations of best practice.
Meetings:
Meetings take place about bi-monthly via Zoom. Guest speakers will contribute throughout the year.
Members:
- Eloise Carpenter, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine co-Chair
- Ian Jacklin, Royal College of Nursing
- Jessie McLean, Buckinghamshire New University co-Chair
- Michelle Wake, UCL School of Pharmacy Steering Group Sponsor
- Samuel Tyler, University of Reading
