We are working towards the Green Dragon Standard, which is a quality management system that helps drive performance and continual improvement.
It is a stepped approach that makes implementing environmental management easy.
Glyndŵr University is a member of the Wales Waste and Resource Research Centre, managed by Cardiff University and funded through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme and the Welsh Assembly Government.
Sustainability is not always about the obvious things; it is often a case of thinking about things differently. An example is the construction of our international water-based hockey pitch.
One of the conditions we stipulated with the building contractors was that the topsoil they removed was to be recycled or reused rather than go to a waste landfill site.
The topsoil was then transported for reuse at a housing development in the Wrexham area for reinstatement work and the formation of gardens.
This is just one example of how Glyndŵr University is always actively looking for ways to promote growth within the community and to support the environment.
