Sport & Exercise wins sustainability award

Sport & Exercise has been given a Silver Award by the Department for Social Responsibility and Sustainability.

The award highlights the sustainable practices at our Pleasance, St Leonards and Peffermill venues.

It recognises staff and students who make a difference and contribute towards the University becoming more socially responsible and sustainable.

Various elements of operations and working life at Sport & Exercise fulfilled the award criteria, including a pedometer challenge, charity work, introduction of sit-stand desks and increasing awareness of environmental issues through signage and communications.

This was Sport & Exercise's first year competing for a sustainability award, which is available in three categories, Bronze, Silver and Gold. If you would like to know more about the scheme, visit the department's website.
