Hi all,
Just to let you know that we have been awarded the LEAF bronze award. Please congratulate
Sofiya on her huge effort with this! She has lead on this for us and it’s not been
particularly easy in a lab as complex as ours!
Thanks Sofiya!

Hello everyone
I’m pleased to announce that our 3D Lab, CELTIC Lab and SEM lab have all been awarded
bronze LEAF accreditation. Congratulations to Lizan, Duncan, Sofiya, Edward and Sophie
for this achievement and to Imane for her efforts leading on this work to help improve the
sustainability and efficiency of our laboratories. Our Palaeo, Image and Geochemistry
labs have also been submitted for audit and we are confident of more positive news shortly
😊.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF),
this is a certification scheme designed to enable staff and students to understand and
improve the sustainability and efficiency of their laboratory areas. Many funding bodies,
including UKRI, are moving towards including environmental criteria in funding calls and
LEAF accreditation will contribute towards satisfying this requirement. Technical teams
across all Schools are working to ensure that all labs within Cardiff University reach
LEAF bronze accreditation by summer 2025.

Congratulations again!
Best wishes; Dymuniadau gorau
Jenny
