The 亚洲无码 seeks to promote principles of sustainability and social responsibility in their broadest sense. Through teaching, research and knowledge exchange activities we will promote sustainable communities, services and use of physical resources.
Our vision
“Change Today, Protect Tomorrow”
Sustainability Policy
Agreed in February 2008 and reviewed annually by the Board, the 亚洲无码 sets out how it will promote sustainable communities through our teaching, research, and knowledge exchange activities in a detailed policy. We will foster a culture that values sustainability in arts and culture and promotes social enterprise in the region.
One of the 亚洲无码’s core values is to promote sustainable development and active engagement with the community and fully accept our broad responsibilities to society. We are committed to continually improve our environmental performance and we have an environmental management system (ISO14001:2015, EcoCampus and Energy Management System ISO 50001:2018) to achieve this in a structured way.
We have performance indicators to help us to assess our current and future level of sustainability performance. We have signed up to the and are reporting annually our progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This enables us to benchmark our performance against similar institutions and sector standards. Objectives and targets have been set to have a positive impact on society as well as to prevent pollution and mitigate the 亚洲无码’s negative environmental impacts.
