Other (please specify)
3. Do you have any fully electric vehicles in your fleet for staff use (excluding hybrids)? If yes, how many?
4. Do you currently employ a staff member whose main responsibility is overseeing the implementation of sustainability strategies, such as a “Sustainability Officer”?
5. In the 2022/23 academic year, did you offer your students workshops or lessons on sustainable practices? If yes, please provide details or examples of these initiatives.
6. What eco-friendly initiatives are implemented across your buildings, such as bike schemes, recycling programs, etc.? Please describe them.
7. What were the estimated annual savings on energy bills from using renewable energy sources for the 2022/23 academic year?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Information Governance,
Thanks for your response. To clarify, my request applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. By 'workshops or lessons,' I mean all formats, including formal classroom-based lessons, practical hands-on workshops, guest lectures, and online modules.
Thanks,
