What we do

LSE has committed to becoming a net zero carbon emissions organisation by 2050, ensure all buildings meet the highest sustainability standards, and minimise waste whilst maximising recycling rates.

What we do

In 2005 the School adopted its first Environmental Sustainability Policy, setting objectives to continually improve environmental performance. Our externally verified Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) and Energy Management System (ISO 50001) provide the frameworks to deliver our ambitious targets.
