ISO 14001
In 2013, our Cranfield campus was awarded certification to the International Environmental Management System Standard ISO 14001. This environmental management system provides the framework for setting and achieving the University's environmental objectives: managing and reducing the impact of our environmental incidents to prevent pollution and ensuring we are compliant with applicable environmental legislation and other key requirements. EMS certification has now been extended to include Cranfield Defence and Security.
