This report summarises the findings of LCF sustainability baseline performance review

LCF aims to position itself at the forefront of sustainability within the higher education sector weaving sustainability into its culture, its ways of learning and educating and its actions

Initiatives have been implemented under the guidance of the UAL sustainability strategy and the Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF). However it is unclear how well LCF is performing as a college within UAL and against it’s peers nationally and internationally and what actions should be taken to meet its goal of being at the forefront of sustainability

Measuring LCF’s sustainability performance is the first step in understanding its current position, currently no formal measuring or monitoring is undertaken

This report summarises LCF’s sustainability performance in the academic year 2011/12, which will form a baseline across the 4Cs:

– Campus

– Culture

– Community

– Curriculum & Research

Introduction


4

The following methodology was followed to develop the LCF sustainability baseline

Methodology

STEP 1

Develop sustainability KPIs

Review sustainability indicators from:– GRI– Green League– HEFCE– EAUC/Green Gown– HEA– UAL KPIs 1

Develop LCF sustainability KPIs:– Campus– Culture– Community– Curriculum &

Research

Review available data (quantitive and qualitative):– Website– Reports– Surveys

Conduct interviews with staff at LCF & UAL– Emails– Telephone interviews– Face to face

interviews

Review existing materials and action plans for UAL & LCF to identify objectives and targets:– Policies– Strategies– Action plans

STEP 1

Identify objectives & targets

Summary of performance

Community

There is no environmental management system in place to reinforce the commitments made in the UAL environmental policy

Waste is managed centrally at UAL, steps are in place to improve data collection and reporting, urgently required Energy data is estimated; energy management initiatives undertaken on an ad hoc basis Lack water consumption data has resulted in ad hoc implementation of water saving initiatives LCF sites have minimal biodiversity impact; green space initiatives that have been undertaken were well received Procurement policy requires consideration of sustainability; however no evidence exists to support this within

Summary of performance


Curriculum & Research

Culture

Campus

Commitment to develop a sustainability culture; no data on how this is considered within HR and labour relations activities

Commitment to develop a sustainability culture is supported by a range of engagements activities with students and staff

Strong alliances & partnerships with HEIs & industry; opportunities to capture information & measure effectiveness exist

Formal and informal learning activities undertaken, no mechanisms to capture information & measure effectiveness

MA Fashion and Environment is well recognised, activities at an undergraduate level undertaken on a project basis only

Dedicated centre for research and consulting on sustainable fashion (CSF), however no data at present to provide a review

A commitment to promote sustainable career choices, however no data at present to provide a review

Recommendations

Community

Clarify engagement lines with UAL and implementation of UAL environmental policy Develop and implement an environmental management system (pref certified to an internationally recognised

standard) Improve monitoring and measuring of environmental outputs and impacts (develop KPIs) Log environmental initiatives Develop a sustainable procurement policy and implement Improve communication internally (students and staff) and externally

Waste to landfill per LCF student 2011/12 0.07 tonnes

Waste recycled per LCF student 2011/12 0.05 tonnes

•No objectives or targets for waste reduction at LCF•Data measured in ‘bags’ , conversion required to estimate

tonnage, can not ensure accuracy•Lack of clarity on what is defined as ‘recycled’, e.g. is incineration

included? As well as what is recycled, e.g. paper, plastics•No information on:

- Waste reduced or reused, e.g. TRAID (how much waste is diverted from landfill)

- Generation and disposal of hazardous waste

•No information on initiatives aimed to reduce waste generation

•Develop mechanisms to improve the measurement of waste generation, disposal and management at all LCF sites:

- Change unit of measurement to tonnes

- Improve accuracy and frequency of data

- Include information on all modes of disposal for all waste streams

•Log and track impact of waste management initiatives

STRENGTHS

•Commitment to reduce energy usage at a University level included in UAL Sustainability Action Plan 2010-15

•UAL Carbon Management Plan available•At least 52 cycle parking spaces across all LCF sites•LCF sites located close to good public transport routes

WEAKNESSES

RECOMMENDATIONS

•No LCF objectives or targets to reduce energy or carbon emissions•Data based on estimates, not normalised against weather. Concerns over

accuracy and reliability across all UAL sites•Carbon Management Plan requires revisions to align with HEFCE

recommendations and how this is implemented at LCF•Limited information on initiatives to reduce energy consumption and

efficiency, implementation is ad hoc, no information on impact of initiatives, e.g. Switch Off campaigns, powering down of PCs

•Discussion document on student/staff travel, no policy of action plan• International travel policy dedicated by cost rather then environmental

factors•Limited showering facilities across sites; showers only available at JPS and

Mare St (2 at each location)•Carbon emissions are not measured (information presented calculated

based on energy figures)

• Improve reliability of energy data (currently under investigation)•Develop an LCF energy and carbon management plan•Maintain a database of all energy management initiatives and track impact

at regular intervals after launch to monitor impact•Communicate energy management data within LCF to staff and students
