Environmental sustainability
By embedding sustainability we will enable our university community to create positive change for society and environment.
Responsible Futures at Salford
The Â׸£ÀûƬ and Salford Students' Union are Responsible Futures accredited, recognising our shared commitment to embedding sustainability across education and the student experience.

Our accreditation reflects strong collaboration between staff and students, with trained student auditors praising our systemic approach and ambition to drive meaningful long-term change.
