share programme and sustainable travel
alternatives. Continually improve BSU travel plan.
Enable and promote video conferencing as an
alternative to travelling wherever possible.
Promote use of less carbon intensive modes of

pool cars for BSU inter-campus and local business
travel. Investigate use of electric vehicles for
Estates and services vehicles. Investigate carbon
offsetting for non-replaceable business travel.
Periodically inspect and maintain sewerage
network. Keep up-to-date drainage plans. Label
drains as surface and foul. Ensure hazardous
waste is not discharged to drains by keeping
relevant staff updated and trained in correct
procedures. No trade waste water is currently
discharged. However, from Sept 2013, we will
have a vehicle wash-down area that will
discharge to the foul sewer. Ensure permits
