This category covers the compliance and reporting frameworks that universities and research institutions must align with. It’s the place to share guidance, experiences, and questions on:
-
Funder Reporting Requirements – Wellcome, UKRI, CRUK, REF templates and sustainability evidence in grants.
-
Government & DfE Reporting – Greening Government Commitments, DfE/OfS requirements, and statutory returns.
-
ISO & Certification – environmental management standards such as ISO 14001 and 14064.
-
Carbon & Emissions Frameworks – SCEF, GHG Protocol, Scope 1–3 accounting, and related methodologies.
This category is distinct from Strategy & Policy (which looks at frameworks and expectations). Here the focus is on how institutions measure, evidence, and report sustainability performance.
