As Africa’s top research-led institution, the University of Cape Town (UCT) is prioritising sustainability. We conduct an annual detailed carbon footprint assessment to support UCT’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
This analysis is crucial to tracking their progress in reducing their environmental impact and aligning with global sustainability standards. UCT’s adoption of initiatives like the Green Campus Policy Framework and the Minimum Green Building Construction Standard demonstrates their leadership in campus sustainability.
Our FY2023 assessment provided valuable insights into their energy use and carbon emissions, helping to identify areas for further improvement.
The assessment not only offers a clear picture of UCT’s environmental impact but also reinforces their long-term strategy of responsible resource management and environmental stewardship.
