With more than 30,000 students, the University of South Wales is one of Britain’s most exciting new universities and a major player in higher education. Within the UK, USW is unique in the breadth of its role, encompassing a modern university and two subsidiaries in Wales’s national conservatoire, the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, and The College Merthyr Tydfil. USW’s 2030 Net Zero Carbon Strategy identifies three priority areas — electricity, gas and procurement emissions —to represent priority areas that require more immediate action. To achieve net zero by 2040, USW’s long-term environmental priorities are to continue to improve its environmental performance and enhance understanding of its impacts and how they can be successfully mitigated.
