The Institute's Green Labs initiative was established in response to the climate crisis and ecological emergency, to reduce the environmental footprint of our research, and other work-related activities.
We aim to reduce emissions and pollution, enhance nature and biodiversity across campus and raise awareness of environmental issues, and their solutions, among staff and the wider community.
To provide a framework for action, we participate in the Green Impact sustainability scheme (SOS-UK), alongside Babraham Research Campus Ltd (BRC) and eight campus companies. We take actions in a diverse range of areas, including energy use, waste, water, transport, procurement, finance, food, engagement, nature and biodiversity.
The Institute received the Platinum Award for Green Impact in 2023 and 2024, with more than 100 individual sustainability actions completed by staff in each cycle.
