LA TROBE: EMBEDDING SUSTAINABILITY IN EVERYTHING WE DO

We are developing a 30-year Sustainability Strategy and are seeking community input from March to June 2024

Join us in shaping our sustainable future!

Sustainability Strategy 2055

As part of our commitment to corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship, La Trobe is embarking on the development of a 30 year Sustainability Strategy, which will be supported by an Implementation Plan. We will be developing our Strategy in consultation with our diverse community from March to June 2024. There will be many ways you can have your say about the future of sustainability at La Trobe University.

At La Trobe University we work with students, staff, and the community to make sustainability central to everything we do, by: 

  • Recognising that sustainability encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
  • Integrating sustainability across all operations, curriculum, and research.
  • Embedding sustainability in the culture and practices of the University through the broadest engagement with staff, students, employers, and partners in the community and in government.
  • Becoming known as the leading sustainable university in Australia and a leader internationally. 

It is expected that a new draft Sustainability Strategy will be available for community feedback by September.
