As a university grounded in its mission, ACU has made a strong and visible commitment to sustainability in our policies and operations. To recognise this, we will be hosting our third annual Sustainability Week from 21–27 August.
This year’s theme is 'renewability', inviting us to respond in both practical and personal ways to caring for our environment: practically, by using our resources in renewable and sustainable ways; and personally, by renewing our individual and organisational commitment to sustainable practices.
