Sustainability at Hartpury

We all know that we face big challenges in today’s world: climate and ecological crises, pollution, energy insecurity, poverty, inequality and more. Big challenges need bold action to overcome them, and that is where the Global Goals, or SDGs, come in. They are a plan agreed to by all world leaders to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030, and we all have a role in achieving them.

The Hartpury Digital Innovation Farm is a state-of-the-art complex, connecting both research, knowledge, data, and people in a real-world and applied setting. Providing industry-led services for the advancement of agricultural technologies and delivering proven solutions and services to farms and suppliers locally and across the UK.

At Hartpury, we believe that everyone should be given the chance to experience university life so that they can understand exactly what is on offer in higher education. We work to inspire, motivate and empower young people, helping them make the right decision to suit their individual ‘wants, needs and aspirations’, and ultimately reach their full potential.

We strive to build an enabling community free from prejudice, discrimination, hate and harassment and an environment that supports and promotes the diverse backgrounds of our staff and students. We value others for their contribution irrespective of personal differences and actively encourage diversity and inclusion, good employment practice, staff training and a positive working and learning environment.

The purpose of the SDG Accord is to inspire celebrate and advance the critical role that education has in delivering the UN SDGs, with institutions making a commitment to do more the deliver the SDGs, reporting progress annually and presenting to the UN High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
