Making the most of natural light, switching off equipment, printing less and sorting waste correctly are just some of the everyday habits set out in Iscte's new Handbook on Energy Efficiency and Resource Use at Work (in Portuguese), presented on 25 September. The handbook is part of the university's campus energy efficiency project, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan through the Environmental Fund.
"Sustainability is now a strategic, cross-cutting priority at Iscte, shaping the way we teach, carry out research, manage our campuses and engage with society," says Helena Carvalho, Vice-Rector for Curriculum Development, Quality and Sustainability. "Through our 2030 Sustainability Agenda and Roadmap, we want to strengthen this commitment and turn it into action, building more efficient, resilient and inclusive campuses and helping to create a more sustainable society."
The community can also explore the Interactive Sustainability Guide, which brings together Iscte's commitments and projects, along with tips for more sustainable everyday living.
