Objective
To prevent pollution, and reduce emissions and discharges to land, air and water. ('Pollution' in this context does not include carbon emissions - please see the 'Energy and Carbon' pages for further info on this topic.)
Initiatives
LSE has a very low potential to cause pollution, as we have no industrial processes or laboratories. However, in addition to carrying our ongoing maintenance works to keep all our buildings' plant equipment in good working order, we have undertaken the following:
-
Raising awareness of air quality as a serious issue. The Mayor of London's Clean Air for London campaign has has more info on air pollution in the capital, and what can be done about it.
-
Reducing exhaust emmisions from the transportation of goods and services by streamlining the number of deliveries made to campus, and working with suppliers to encourage them to travel by public transport or share vehicles where possible. For info on the London 'Low Emission Zone' (aka Congestion Charge zone), visit the TfL website.
