Cranfield University have a Carbon Management Plan target of 50% absolute cut in emissions by 2020. To achieve this requires the engagement of staff as the first steps towards wholesale culture change. They have developed their team of Green Champions to lead Behaviour Change across campus and have made substantial progress in cutting Carbon through staff efforts. Central to all their Behaviour Change work has been widespread quantification, as a motivator for staff - and equally Senior Management.

Bedford College have a carbon reduction target of 35% reduction by September 2017. Sustainability, as a top level priority, is embedded into their curriculum and operations at all levels, driving carbon reduction action through all functions of the college. This also includes engaging external stakeholders and supporting local community initiatives.
