Our purchases account for a large part of the University’s carbon footprint. Every year, the University makes purchases worth SEK 1.5 billion. In Sweden as a whole, purchases amount to SEK 900 billion – equivalent to one-sixth of GDP. This has a significant climate impact. Therefore, it is important that all purchases, from fruit baskets to sophisticated instruments, are made consciously and sustainably.
