Our Environmental Targets

​

Trinity Business School inspires and supports organisations to move onto an eco-sustainable footing, and importantly, the School intends to ‘walk the talk’ by doing so ourselves. Therefore, the School has set a stretched target of becoming net carbon neutral by 2030.

​

The School, in partnership with KPMG, conducted a Carbon Footprint Assessment for a base year of 2018-19, the most recent year of normal operations before the impacts of Covid-19. A summary of the assessment is available to download below. On completion of the assessment, a Carbon Management Plan was developed in 2022, and implementation began immediately.

Trinity Business School Carbon Management Summary Report 2022

 

Key elements of the plan include:

• avoiding any major construction work

• implementing a ‘vegetarian first’ catering policy

• forming three carbon emissions reduction groups (including the School’s Advisory Board, all School staff, and a representative implementation group)

• acting as a pilot school for the University in developing and implementing carbon emissions reduction initiatives.

 

The School was eager to include all emissions categories and to avoid any ‘Greenwashing’. Therefore, we decided to include Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, and unusually for a business school or university, we included all categories of Scope 3 emissions, including capital goods, purchased goods & services, incoming international students, and student commuting.
