Understanding Climate Change & Sustainability in Life & Work
Foreword from Hugh Hall, Principal
The College’s purpose is “to enable learning and enthuse learners”. The College aims to do this in a way which is sustainable financially, academically and environmentally.
The College has a proud history of achievement but is aware that the only worthwhile long term legacy for the organisation is a sustainable planet for our children.
The environments in which the college operates present us with many challenges and opportunities. As we address and pursue these we will pay close attention to the environmental impact of our work. We are committed to environmental sustainability and to the reduction of our carbon footprint through our carbon management programme.
Introduction to Sustainability at Fife College
Prior to the merger, the legacy Fife colleges began implementing energy-saving measures in the early 2000's. Since the 2013 merger, Fife College has implemented reasonably well-established processes for monitoring carbon emissions and project list to achieve carbon savings.
The key issues now facing the College comprise the changes to the built estate, staff/service user throughput and increasing energy consuming equipment and facilities all of which will have significant impacts on future carbon emissions. Fife College’s Carbon Management Team will continue to take measures to adapt the CMP to any potentially significant impacts on achieving Carbon Management Plan targets.Instruction
