The University, and our partner Chartwells, have been awarded the U Dine Award for sustainability.

Just some of the reason why we earned this award:

• All packaging we use is compostable and processed here on site with the aerobic digestor
• We hold monthly free plant-based Social Kitchens to teach students about avoiding food waste, batch cooking and eating more sustainably
• Our university conference centre operates as a single-use-plastic-free venue
• We partner with Too Good to Go and Olio to minimise food waste
• We hold the highest-possible Sustainable Restaurant Association accreditation

We have recently announced that for the new campus catering contract and a key criteria in the procurement process was bidders' commitment to sustainability.

Through our engagement process with the University Community nearly 70% of those who responded told us that it was very important or important that our catering partners share our vision to become one of the most sustainable and inclusive universities in the world.

More to come on this next week - for all the latest updates.
