鶹ýƵվ Sustainability Bond

鶹ýƵվ is pleased to launch our sustainability bond; helping us to deliver on the sector leading commitments that we have laid out in our Sustainability Strategy. Find out more about the bond and our ambitious plans to make 鶹ýƵվ an exemplar sustainable university.

Sustainability Finance Framework

鶹ýƵվ has developed a Sustainability Finance Framework providing the flexibility to issue Green, Social or Sustainability bonds or loans (“Sustainable Financial Instruments”), to support our environmental and social objectives.

The Sustainability Finance Framework (the “Framework”) aligns 鶹ýƵվ’s strategic and sustainability priorities with its funding and financial strategy. 鶹ýƵվ has selected a number of key investment and expenditure areas which are fundamental to our sustainability strategy and deliver tangible environmental and societal impacts. 鶹ýƵվ looks to attract investors who are supportive of these goals, in accordance with its own education ethos. Stakeholders are valuable partners in supporting 鶹ýƵվ’s journey and contribution to a more equitable and sustainable society.

Sustainability Bond Impact Reports

DNV, a provider of environmental, social and governance (ESG) research and analysis, has provided a second-party opinion on 鶹ýƵվ’s framework.

鶹ýƵվ Sustainability Strategy 

ܰSustainability Strategy launched in 2019 sets out a bold vision for sustainability at 鶹ýƵվ and is arguably one of the most ambitious across the UK HE sector. It seeks to draw on the talent, knowledge and experience within our community to deliver sustainable outcomes. We are taking lessons from our research to inform the sustainable operation of a global university, while using our operations as a test-bed for research and teaching, inspiring a new generation of sustainable citizens.
