Environment and sustainable development

KTH contributes to sustainable development through education, research and collaboration with societal partners. According to KTH's values, education and research should contribute to an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable societal development.

Internal Environmental Audit 2025

The internal environmental audit is currently underway. This year's focus is on auditing how the schools' work with the environmental management system reaches their departments and is an integrated part of their operations. The second focus area concerns KTH's management of textiles based on the new regulations in this area. Two students from the ABE School have participated in conducting the audit and written a report where they have identified which of KTH's textiles are covered by the requirements, as well as provided suggestions on how KTH can improve its current system.
