Sustainability and SDG Report 2025 — Campus operations
Summary
This chapter reports the environmental performance of TUIT’s own campuses in 2025: energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, waste, transport and procurement, against the targets of the Sustainable Development Policy.
Performance against targets
| Area | Indicator | 2024 | 2025 | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Total energy use (GJ) | — | 40,299 | — |
| Energy | Energy per m² (GJ) | — | 0.47 | −10% by 2030 against 2025 |
| Energy | Low-carbon share | — | 2.6% | Increasing |
| Emissions | Scope 1 + 2 (t CO₂e) | — | ≈3,286 | −15% by 2030 and −50% by 2040 against 2022–2023; neutral by 2050 or earlier |
| Water | Total use (m³) | not reported | 95,418 | Reduce per person |
| Water | Reused water (m³) | — | not measured | Increase |
| Waste | Generated (t) | — | ≈145 | — |
| Waste | Recycled or reused share | — | ≈9% | 25% by 2030 |
| Food waste | Collected and reused (t) | — | ≈13 | Reduce |
| Plastics | Disposable items bought | — | Baseline being established | −30% by 2030 |
| Procurement | Contracts with sustainability clauses | — | Catering, cleaning, security and vending contracts | All new major contracts by 2030 |
Energy and emissions
The 1,366 solar panels (755 kW) remained the main source of low-carbon energy. Since 30 August 2024 the Energy and Carbon Management Policy has required a Building Upgrade Plan and regular energy reviews, and the 2025 figures serve as the baseline for the energy-intensity target.
Water
Water was metered monthly at every site. All wastewater went to municipal treatment.
Waste
Waste was separated and weighed monthly; food waste was used as animal feed, and electronic and hazardous waste went to licensed processors.
Transport
The main campus is 200 m from Bodomzor metro station. Administrative meetings were held online by default.
Procurement
The Sustainable and Ethical Procurement Policy, approved on 30 August 2024, replaced the Sustainable Procurement Policy and requires major suppliers to sign a Supplier Code of Conduct.
