On 9 July, the Environmental Sustainability team welcomed approximately 120 staff and students. Collectively, we applauded and celebrated the University community’s outstanding efforts towards achieving our strategic environmental goals. 

The event showcased five innovative projects completed in the past year. These projects ranged from a local arts festival and a sustainable travel "race" to a strategic initiative aimed at improving environmental practices in laboratories.  

The recent academic year saw a continued increase in participation from the University community. A total of 216 lab teams engaged in LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) accreditation, with two departments achieving 100% participation in the LEAF scheme.  

Additionally, over 60 Green Impact teams contributed this year, with 34 teams earning Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Beyond Gold accreditation. Hundreds of individuals took part in various activities, collectively completing 1,360 actions. 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the University community for their unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. We are also delighted to announce the recipients of the following awards:
