Sustainability Awards

The Sustainability Awards offer an opportunity for staff and students to make a difference and contribute towards the University becoming more socially responsible and sustainable.

Everyone at the University can take part in the Sustainability Awards.

We have different types of Sustainability Award spanning the breadth of the University so that everyone can get involved.

The Sustainability Awards, running since 2010, offer an opportunity for staff and students to make a difference and contribute towards the University becoming more socially responsible and sustainable.

The University Website Programme team would wholeheartedly recommend taking part in the Sustainability Awards. The help, support and online resources are excellent which makes the tasks easy and enjoyable to complete.

Sustainability is an essential aspiration for the University and can also save a lot of money but the big surprise for us was how much fun it all was. It became a focal point for the team over a number of weeks and helped pull the team closer together.
