The UM Sustainability Roadmap 2030 outlines the ambitious goals the university aims to achieve. But to chart a path toward these goals, we first need to understand where it currently stands. That’s why one of the first priorities of the Sustainability Office is to collect and analyse data on UM’s current sustainability performance.
In 2025, our colleague Shweta Singh started to collect data on several sustainability aspects as a first step in taking sustainable action towards our ambitions.
“The main goal of this work is not just to measure emissions, but to actually provide a clear direction for action. By doing a full life cycle assessment across Scope 1, 2, and 3, we’re able to see exactly where the major emission hotspots are.” (Shweta Singh)

“Everyone’s actions really matter. A significant part of the university’s emissions comes from everyday activities like commuting, energy use, and purchasing. These are the things we all can influence. Even small steps, like choosing more sustainable mobility options, being mindful of energy, or reducing waste, add up when the whole community gets involved”. (Shweta Singh)
