We demand that the University of Bristol's careers department:

1. Refuses all new relationships with oil, gas or mining companies.
2. Declines to renew any current relationships with oil, gas or mining companies after the contractually obligated period ends.
3. Adopts a publicly available Ethical Careers Policy that explicitly excludes oil, gas and mining companies from recruitment opportunities. 

This is because the operations of the oil, gas and mining industries cause immense environmental harm, by accelerating the climate and ecological crisis, polluting the water and permanently destroying landscapes.

That these extractive operations also cause direct social harm, by displacing people from their homes and lands, destroying livelihoods, demolishing sacred indigenous sites, and leaving workers and communities with severe health problems.

Furthermore, young people see oil and gas as the most unappealing sector to work in. They associate it with responsibility for the climate crisis, and believe there is no future for jobs in the industry.

The University Careers Service already restricts who is allowed to advertise jobs to students. It currently doesn’t allow companies from the tobacco industry to use its services.

The University has made a public ethical and sustainability commitment. This includes a commitment to fully removing its investments in fossil fuel companies.
