Abstract

The University of Southampton's (UoS) vision is that by 2030, sustainability will be a part of everything the University does; our individual behaviours, how we work together, and how we make decisions for the future. This is key to achieving our mission of changing the world for the better. The Sustainability Strategic Plan (SSP) is one of ten Strategic Plans created to underpin and drive forward the overall University Strategy. The SSP was developed to deliver on its sustainability targets and sets out six Goals to achieve these targets as highlighted in Figure 1. The six Goals do not only address reducing our emissions, but also cover embedding sustainability in our teaching, research and investment .

This is the first annual report on the development of the University of Southampton's Sustainability Strategic Plan and progress against its 6 Goals for the years 2023-24. The report provides a summary of the planned work across the 6 Goals, whereby the first three relate to our institutional emissions reporting under the various scopes of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol. The latter 3 Goals of the Plan cover education, research, and investment.
