Abstract

LEAF is a standard for sustainable laboratory operations, emphasising on conventional laboratories. LEAF, short for the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework, was developed by sustainable UCL and shared among many academic institutions. Laboratory Animal Sciences are often side stepped when discussions about sustainable labs are bought up, due to the niche nature of the work. With the concerns of many about the climate and ecological emergencies affecting the world, the green champion initiative was born among the animal care staff at UCL. The aim is to look at LAS as a whole, and evaluate just what can be changed, whilst striving to maintain the high levels of care as normal. In collaboration with Sustainable UCL, the green champions have been working on addressing the environmental impact of LAS and doing what is needed to reduce carbon emissions whilst maintaining high quality research.
