Sustainability at AU
At AU, we are committed to promoting sustainable development through our research, degree programmes and operations.
This site is primarily focused on the operational aspects of this work and contains information about AU’s sustainability network and the development of AU’s strategy for the area. You can also find examples of initiatives that are helping to ensure that AU’s operations are sustainable.
