The Waudby Group

At the Waudby Group, we take the sustainability of our research seriously. We believe that scientific excellence and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. Our commitment to sustainable practices is reflected in our laboratory operations and travel policies.

LEAF

We are proud recipients of Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) awards:

• LEAF Gold Award (2024) - Recognising our comprehensive approach to sustainable laboratory practices
• LEAF Bronze Award (2023) - Our first step towards formalising our sustainability journey

No-Fly Pledge

We pledge to avoid taking a flight where it is possible to reach the same destination by train in 6 hours or less.

Our group has adopted this No-Fly Pledge as part of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. By choosing rail travel over short-haul flights, we significantly decrease the environmental impact of our academic activities, while often enhancing the quality of our travel experience.
