The ELMO module ‘Sustainability @ Charles Sturt University’ has been designed to increase staff awareness and understanding of sustainability, both at an individual and at an organisational level. This module is now available for all new staff joining our organisation and existing staff.
This module gives you an overview of how Charles Sturt University is working to be more sustainable through the Learning in Future Environments (LiFE) Index and also suggests what you can do on a personal and professional basis. It outlines what activities you may like to become involved in across all campuses.
You can get involved on campus by becoming a member of your Campus Environment Working Group. No matter which faculty or division you work within, if you have an interest in sustainability and would like to offer your on-ground knowledge, expertise and passion to help us develop initiatives, reach sustainability targets and environmental goals on campus, please get involved. These groups are casual and social, and a great way to collaborate with colleagues on campus while making an impact.
Contact sustainability@csu.edu.au. if you are interested in learning more about your Campus Environment Work Group.

You can read more about these products via the followings summaries available on the UniSuper website.
