EcoCampus

EcoCampus is an Environmental Management System (EMS) and award scheme for the higher education sector. The scheme allows universities to be recognised for addressing key issues of environmental sustainability.

The EcoCampus pilot project is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and is a collaborative project between Nottingham Trent University (NTU), Loreus Ltd (EMS, software development & training consultancy) and key partners, the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC) and Environmental Campaigns (ENCAMS).

The pilot scheme is running from November 2005 to November 2008. Participation to the scheme beyond the pilot is now available for all institutions UK-wide, for more information please visit the Joining the Scheme page.
