Britain's Greenest Conservatoire

Tuesday 11 June 2013

For the fourth year running, the Royal College of Music has scored highly in the People & Planet Green League, which assesses the environmental performance of UK universities.

The RCM scored a solid 2:1 rating, not only maintaining our position as the UK’s greenest conservatoire for the fourth year running, but also securing first place among all of the UK’s smaller specialist institutions. The RCM scored highly for Environmental Policies & Staffing, Sustainable Food, Ethical Procurement & Investment, Carbon Management and Waste Reduction & Recycling.

Marcus McDonald, the RCM’s Director of Finance and Estates, commented: “Environmental issues are incredibly important to us here at the Royal College of Music, and we’re really delighted that our efforts have once again been recognised by the People & Planet Green League. I’d like to thank and congratulate all the students and staff who have made this possible.”
