Team Sustainability
Our sustainability programme focuses on three pillars: education, research and operations. Our ambition is to hold a leading position in sustainable education and research and to comply with accepted standards when it comes to our business operations.
The Sustainable UM 2030 programme team works closely with the sustainability coordinator of each pillar: operations, education and research. The coordinators are supported by the UM Green Office and cooperate with the UM Green Network. This project organisation supports any initiatives, small or large, coming from all layers within the organisation.

UM Green Network
The Green Network is the sustainability web within the university. This network consists of the sustainability initiatives affiliated with the Sustainability Hub and the Faculty Green Teams, of which each faculty has one. The Green Network is comprised of dedicated staff and students from across UM who are helping to raise awareness and build a sustainability community within UM.
UM Green Teams
A crucial part of the Green Network are the Faculty Green Teams. Each of the six faculties has a Green Team that works on integrating sustainability within the faculty and connecting sustainability initiatives UM-wide. Their mission is to drive a culture of sustainability and awareness, actively promoting positive environmental change, fostering collaboration, and empowering the university community to engage in sustainability-focused initiatives, thereby contributing to the University's 2030 sustainability roadmap.
The Green Teams are supported by the Sustainable UM 2030 programme team and UM Green Office. Do you want to reach out to the Green Teams? Contact them directly by clicking the e-mail link below.
