Our students and community

We're creating lasting benefits for all

The Net Zero program goes beyond emissions reduction, we're creating lasting benefits for students, staff and the community.

By offering research and employment opportunities, improving campus amenities, and developing innovative solutions, we're helping our community reduce carbon emissions and build a sustainable future together.

Proceeds from our Sustainability-Linked Loan also support initiatives such as La Trobe’s Indigenous Accommodation Scholarship Fund. To learn more about our impact, read our announcement.
