Here at the Wellcome Genome Campus we are committed to the maintenance of the factors and practices that contribute to the quality of environment on a long-term basis. We do this through a range of initiatives from encouraging our staff to adopt more environmentally-friendly ways of getting to work to maintaining a Nature Reserve that houses and protects many native plant and animal species.
Our sustainability strategy demonstrates the Campus’ commitment to considering the environment in all decisions that are made across Campus. From the goods and services that we purchase, to how we operate our catering and cleaning on site, through to how our grounds are managed.
