Bournemouth University Sustainability Annual Report 2019-2020
Effective environmental and energy risk management After external audits, our integrated EEMS was re-certified to the International Standard ISO14001 and EcoCampus Platinum and, for the first time, we achieved the energy management standard, ISO50001 certification. No non-conformities were identified against either standard, and this is a superb outcome that demonstrates BU’s continual improvement ethos to minimise its impact on the environment whilst also seeking opportunities to enhance the learning and research environment.
One of BU’s proud achievements this year was to become one of only a handful of universities to achieve a double certification for its environmental and energy management system (EEMS). Jim Andrews, Chief Operating Officer, said: “Gaining this double certification is a great achievement and demonstrates yet again how committed we are to minimising our environmental footprint”.
