The role of Higher Education Institutions within ESDGC is pivotal in that they education a great number of the professionals and leaders of tomorrow’s society. They have a large role to play within the environmental management of their institutions and procurement policies, ensuring that globally aware, ethically sound and environmentally balanced processes are introduced. They also have potential for influencing others outside the university through professional development and training opportunities.
Current work is focussed on working with HEFCW and others to develop opportunities for collating current practice and sharing best practice, for developing training specific to the sector.
