Environment and sustainable development
KTH contributes to sustainable development by providing educational programmes, conducting research and by interacting with the surrounding community. Through its activities, KTH also impacts the environment in practical terms through the consumption of materials and water, energy and chemicals, travel and transport and construction, and indirectly through purchasing and procurement.
KTH's environmental system ISO 14001:2015
The Environmental Management System can be found on the KTH Intranet, where you can find all necessary information, documents and procedures to ensure the achievement of our environmental goals. The management system applies to all of KTH operations.
