Our ambition is for UCIM to be net zero from operations after offsetting by 2026
UCIM measured its own greenhouse gas emissions for the UCIM Financial year 2022, one of the first departments at the University to do so.
UCIM’s emissions were 468 tCO2e, the vast majority of which were Scope 3 emissions, attributable to purchases of services and travel. The detailed breakdown of emissions provided in the report enables UCIM to review its procurement and travel arrangements, to minimise emissions in future. Data for the 2023 financial year has now been submitted and the report should be available in June 2024.
At the University’s Sustainability Showcase in June 2024, UCIM achieved Gold in the annual Green Impact Awards, reflecting the great efforts the team, led by Samantha Richards, Business Support Administrator has made to improve its own sustainability.
The team are aiming for Platinum in 2025!
Each summer, UCIM hosts two undergraduate interns from the University, who carry out independent sustainable investment research projects. UCIM also hosts interns from the 10,000 Interns Programme and GAIN (Girls are Investors).
