University achieves prestigious Environmental Management certification

The University of Kent has become one of the first UK universities to attain the new ISO14001:2015 environmental management certification.

Building from our original certification in 2012, the new 2015 version of the standard places greater emphasis on how organisations integrate environmental performance into governance, management and operational processes. Kent’s early certification to the new standard recognises the University’s leadership and its commitment to embedding and improving its environmental performance.

More information on the University’s Environmental Management System can be found on our Safety webpages.

As part of the ongoing improvements to environmental management at the University, we will be re-vamping webpages, launching a new behaviour change campaign and publishing an annual sustainability report. Keep an eye on Campus Online for any updates.
