As part of Stockholm University, Nordita follows the university’s environmental management system and climate roadmap in its daily operations. Stockholm University has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2040, and its climate work is guided through a structured framework that is regularly revised and supported by two-year action plans. The university also works in line with the environmental management standard ISO 14001, with environmental responsibility integrated into everyday operations across the institution.

Within this wider framework, Nordita’s environmental work is shaped by the same principles and practical routines that apply across Stockholm University. These include attention to resource use, travel and meeting practices, procurement, waste management, and the reporting of environmental improvements and deviations. Stockholm University’s current climate roadmap includes concrete targets such as reducing emissions from business travel and from goods and services by 30 percent by 2026 compared with 2019 levels.

In this context, sustainability at Nordita is reflected mainly in everyday choices and workplace practices rather than in a separate institute-specific programme. By working within Stockholm University’s shared environmental policies and long-term climate goals, Nordita contributes to a broader institutional effort to reduce environmental impact and support responsible, forward-looking research and higher education.
