Sustainable Campus
In the autumn of 2011, KTH began the process of introducing the environmental management system standard ISO 14001. With an environmental management system, KTH can organize their environmental activities in an efficient manner.
Successful environmental management requires close cooperation between management, Sustainable Campus, KTH-S and operations. Where possible, activities will be centrally coordinated in both strategic and operational aspects.
The process of establishing an environmental management systems includes three parts of which the President has decided that:
- The working model for the introduction of environmental management systems at KTH is to be ISO 14001.
- The environmental management system must be ready for certification by 31 December 2014.
- Adequate resources in terms of time, personnel and financial means will be allocated in operations in order to achieve the goal of KTH establishing a certifiable management system according to ISO 14001 by 31 December 2014.
An organisation consisting of an Environmental Manager and Environmental Representatives in each school will be developed. Furthermore, an initial environmental review has been conducted to serve as the basis for the development of key environmental aspects and environmental management routines.
