Sustainability & the Students' Union

Cardiff Met works in partnership with the Students' Union (SU) to promote sustainability engagement and raise awareness of climate issues. The SU works towards continual improvement for environmental sustainability by tracking its annual progress and by attending all relevant University meetings, as confirmed in the relationship agreement and Student Charter.
