2021 Green Impact Awards announced
We are full of appreciation and admiration for all Green Impact teams’ hard work during this challenging year
Green Impact is an engagement scheme in which teams of staff and students work together to make their buildings more sustainable. Green Impact is an online portal where teams can tick off actions and gain points which lead to awards, ranging from Beyond Gold to Getting Started.
This academic year has been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, so we offered our teams a choice: to submit and undergo the audit process or to continue with their efforts from this year adding to next year’s workbook. We congratulate every one of our teams for their hard work and continuous effort to improve our environmental impact.
Four teams attained Beyond Gold level, while one reached Gold, three attained Silver and one reached Bronze standard.
