Strategic Alignment

Greater influence and alignment at the institutional level

For us to have impact, we need to influence at a strategic level. We will align our priorities with those of our member institutions to show how sustainability will support their objectives. Together, we will embed sustainability within institutions to enhance employability, research, quality teaching, student experience, internationalism, efficiency, social responsibility, retention and growth.

Outcomes

• We will build dialogue and understanding between member sustainability and institutional leaders to demonstrate the benefits of sustainability
• We will support our members to enhance the student experience and improve employability prospects through improved sustainability education
• We will support member organisations to embed sustainability into their missions and strategic plans
