3 EPA Sustainability Licence for the University of Adelaide 1 What is an EPA sustainability licence? EPA sustainability licences are a commitment to improvement, and where excellence is demonstrated, a commitment to maintain that excellence. EPA sustainability licences are not available to all licensees. The EPA only enters into these agreements with licensees who have a demonstrated commitment to maintaining and improving: environmental compliance environmental sustainability respectful relationships with the local community and other stakeholders. EPA sustainability licences and associated reporting are available on the EPA internet site at EPA sustainability licences are built on a foundation of trust and transparency to deliver an effective and collaborative relationship between a licensee and the EPA. Any breach of this trust will be treated seriously by the EPA. The EPA recognises that the University of Adelaide demonstrates the above requirements and as one of a select group of licensees, the EPA and the university will continue to work together to pursue better environmental outcomes. About this EPA sustainability licence The University of Adelaide operates 4 main campuses in South Australia North Terrace, Thebarton, Waite and Roseworthy. As one of Australia s leading universities, the University has developed an environmental sustainability program called Ecoversity and created a website to encourage the widespread adoption of sustainable practices by staff, students and the greater University community. This EPA sustainability licence contains an agreed voluntary environmental sustainability agreement 2 and a mandatory EPA licence that support the University of Adelaide s objective to go beyond compliance and to continuously improve its environmental sustainability. Summary of commitments This EPA sustainability licence has been developed by the EPA and the University of Adelaide. It contains the University s commitments to environmental sustainability as well as the statutory licence requirements. As part of this commitment, the University of Adelaide will maintain their system to identify and mitigate environmental risks, and their effect on the community, arising from operations and its contractors. 1 2 This EPA sustainability licence refers to the Environment Protection Authority interchangeably as EPA or the Authority and the University of Adelaide interchangeably as the university or the licence holder. EPA and the University of Adelaide acknowledge that the University of Adelaide s commitments under the environmental sustainability agreement are not legally enforceable obligations 1

4 This licence contains two sections: Part 1: the environmental sustainability agreement contains the University of Adelaide and the EPA s public commitment to work together to improve the environmental sustainability and resource efficiency of the University s business operations. This joint voluntary commitment assists the University to pursue its corporate sustainability objectives to: Raise awareness and promote sustainability to the University community Reduce our environmental footprint Develop systems and processes to continuously improve environmental management. Part 2: the EPA licence contains the legally enforceable environmental performance conditions the University of Adelaide must comply with in undertaking its licensed activities. The University commits to continuing to meet the conditions of the EPA licence to manage listed wastes on its campuses. 2

5 Part 1 Environmental Sustainability Agreement The University of Adelaide continues to be a leader in education and research into environmental sustainability. In the field of research, the Environment Institute brings together World Leaders in the fields of Climate & Ecology, Energy Technology, Water, Biology, Ancient DNA and Landscapes. In teaching, the University produces undergraduates in fields such as Sustainable Energy Engineering, Environmental Policy and Management and Architecture, Landscape & Urban Design. Postgraduates are also produced in areas such as Environmental Monitoring, Carbon Management and Sustainability. The University is acutely aware that its 25,000 students (EFTSL) and 3,000 staff (FTE) based at four major campuses create a significant environmental footprint. To understand and manage the extent of the University s footprint, the Office of Sustainability was established in 2008 along with its environmental sustainability program called ECOVERSITY. The ECOVERSITY program has achieved many significant milestones since 2008, including: The production of comprehensive carbon inventories since 2007/08 and the recent development of an on line sustainability management and reporting tool Multi faceted awareness raising and educational resources, including a website, posters and other collateral, and a presence in social media; and The harnessing of student and staff sustainability advocates through an ECOleaders program. The University is also proud to have built Australia s first 6 star Green Star Education Building INNOVA 21. The University of Adelaide supports formalising our future sustainability activities in the form of an agreement with the EPA. 3

6 Actions to improve The University of Adelaide s environmental sustainability The University of Adelaide and the EPA have identified the following opportunities and supporting actions to continue to improve its environment sustainability.
