Sheffield Hallam University for the last 15 years, I suspect in common with many organizations, has been on a journey. There has been a progression from a serious concern about the institution's impact upon the environment and a sincere wish to minimize that impact to today's position with the recognition that environmental concern alone is not enough. Now it is seen as only one facet of the overall role the university plays in society and, in particular, the immediate regional community. Indeed, the very jargon has changed. There has been a movement from talking about the environment and being ‘green’ to recognition of the full definition of what is meant and required by ‘sustainability’.
