The Strategic Approach

A strategic approach is systematic and can be characterised by the presence of the three elements:

A formal sustainability/environmental/biodiversity group that:

Includes all involved and interested groups and individuals in the institution and local community;
Is recognised within the institution’s management structure with institutional support for its decisions and a reporting responsibility to the institution; and
Has a budget assigned to its activities.

A biodiversity policy that:

Commits the institution to promoting biodiversity;
Is approved by senior managers;
Is given wide publicity; and
Is reviewed regularly.

A biodiversity plan or strategy that:

Is agreed and resourced by the institution; and
Sets out clearly the way in which the institution intends to manage biodiversity on campus.
