Solent is committed to addressing the challenges resulting from the current climate and ecological crises faced locally, nationally and internationally. We will continue to embed sustainable best practice into our teaching, research and campus operations and through engagement with our university community.
Everyone - staff, students and visitors - can make a positive contribution, or avoid a negative impact to the environment through the individual actions they take.
"To be an environmentally sustainable university and one which makes a substantive contribution through its teaching, research and public engagement, to addressing the challenges presented by the climate and ecological crises."
If you are a new student or member of staff at Solent, please read the environmental information for new starters for a brief introduction on how environment and sustainability are managed at the University, and how you can become involved in environmental initiatives on campus.

The University’s Environmental Management System (EMS) brings together all our environmental and sustainability initiatives under one umbrella. The EMS has been awarded ISO14001:2015 certification and EcoCampus Platinum status in recognition of the University’s work on reducing and managing its environmental impacts and continually improving it's environmental performance.
Information on full scope of the EMS and the environmental processes covering our activities and sites is contained within the EMS manual.
