Ranked first in the UK in the energy category, this is due to the percentage of renewable energy we generate on-site (2021-22, 6% electricity and 14.).5% heat), and any electricity we buy comes from green tariffs. 100% in the three categories of Policy and Strategy, Environmental Audit and Management Systems, and Energy.

Sustainability Manager, Lois Betts, said: "It is important that students are able to independently assess the sustainability performance of the University. The Peoples & Planet Alliance continues to challenge universities in a range of areas. We have achieved great results at Boston University thanks to our strong policies and strategies and our data and reporting base. This is a testament to the seriousness with which we steward our heritage in order to reduce its negative impact on the environment. "As a community, our staff is integrating sustainability into our teaching so that future generations can contribute to solving the world's problems for people and the planet. ”
