The Office for Environmental Programs (OEP) is committed to meeting the University of Melbourne‘s sustainability targets of reduced energy use, lower carbon emissions from travel and energy and reduced waste and water use.
OEP staff are dedicated to sustainability, both in the workplace and at home. Working with Property and Campus Services, OEP have sought to ensure their office space reflects their values, by using low-impact materials and choosing low-energy appliances. On a day-to-day basis, the office tries to make sure their work practices promote the health of the environment, staff and student community. OEP staff enjoy sharing ideas on how they can live in a more sustainable way—whether through choices about food, energy and transport, or through local and global and action.
