A review of the College’s Sustainability Strategy originally approved by the Governing Body in November 2022 is published this week.
The report documents progress towards sustainability goals over the past three years. It covers four areas: carbon, energy and water management; biodiversity and ecosystem management; social behaviour and sustainable procurement; and responsible investment.
Martin Spooner, Fellow and Director of College Services said:
“We are proud of the advances College has made over the past three years and are committed to our next steps. I encourage people to read the Report.”
Christ’s College is committed to, and on track to achieve, a 30% reduction in carbon usage by 2030 from a 2018 baseline measurement.
Innovations including the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs), solar panels, and Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) mean that gas consumption per available room has reduced by 28% from 8721 kilo watt hours (KWH) in 2017/18 to 6284 KWH in 2024-25.
