UCIM's ambition is to be net zero from its operations, after offsetting, by 2026.
In 2022, UCIM became one of the first departments at the University of Cambrridge to measure its own greenhouse gas emissions.
For the year ended 30th June 2024, UCIM’s emissions were 363 tCO2e, the vast majority of which were Scope 3 emissions, attributable to purchases of services and travel.
The detailed breakdown of emissions provided in the report enables UCIM to continue to review its procurement and travel arrangements, to minimise emissions in future.
In 2025, UCIM is working with Greenly and the University to develop a Local Environmental Sustainability Plan (LESP).
At the University’s Sustainability Showcase in June 2024, UCIM achieved Gold in the annual Green Impact Awards, reflecting the great efforts the team, led by Samantha Richards, Business Support Administrator has made to improve its own sustainability.
Each summer, UCIM hosts two undergraduate interns from the University, who carry out independent sustainable investment research projects. UCIM also hosts interns from the 10,000 Interns Programme and GAIN (Girls are Investors).
