The School has processes in place to support effective delivery and decision-making to deliver its sustainability ambitions. The LSE Sustainability Team coordinate the School's approach, working with teams across the LSE community.
A number of committees and working groups support delivery. We seek diverse views to inform our decision making, with both staff and student representation on sustainability groups.
As part of our certified management systems, objectives are set and tracked using Action plans, including tracking delivery of our Sustainability Strategic Plan through an Implementation plan.
