Environment and Ethics

We're committed to improving the environment. 

We all take a part in improving our environment. Our Union believes we must take a positive approach and encourage students and the University to help and support environmental practices such as recycling and good ethical practices e.g. buying Fairtrade products.

In the last couple of months the Executive Committee of the Union have passed a new Environmental Policy and Fairtrade Policy. These policies will be reviewed and updated accordingly each year. We are also working to ensure we reduce and improve our impact on the environment and source ethical and locally sourced products. We are also looking into getting solar hot water in our Union.

The Union has been working very closely with Transition Heriot www.transitionheriot-watt.org.uk  to improve our environmental impact. There are lots of exciting things coming up, so we will keep you posted!
