The ITM School works actively for a sustainable development on several levels. Our research and education contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have an environmental management system and is a workplace that strives for increased sustainability in our daily processes.
Environmental management
KTH is certified according to the international environmental management standard ISO 14001. Within the framework of the environmental management system, the ITM School has defined specific targets and processes for our school.

Environmental training for Employees
KTH employees, and those working on assignments for KTH, should have the appropriate knowledge needed to perform their duties in a manner consistent with KTH's work with the environment and sustainable development.
In the daily work, we reduce our travels and have organic fruit in our lunch rooms, just to mention to examples. Environmental coordinators are appointed, to handle local environment issues like garbage recycling procedures, energy efficient office spaces, and sustainable purchases of consumables.
we travel by train and that air travel, in cases where they can be motivated, has as low a climate impact as possible
electric scooters are available to get around in the neighborhood.
our research areas aim at a "sustainable industry and a sustainable society"
we sort out the food waste in our lunch rooms
we make it easier for employees to commute to work by bike.
Routines for ITM's environmental work
Our environmental management system controls how we work to live up to different environmental requirements. Here you find all the local routines. (In Swedish only)
By meeting through video conferencing instead of traveling, you contribute to all three aspects of sustainable development - reducing carbon dioxide emissions, financial savings and social benefits.
To reduce its environmental impact, KTH is launching a travel offset kitty. The aim is to encourage less air travel. The money raised will be used in projects to reduce KTH emissions and help KTH reach its sustainability goals.
