Win awards for sustainability

Staff and students are invited to earn recognition for their efforts to help the University become more socially responsible and sustainable.

Teams can enter the University’s 2012-2013 Edinburgh Sustainability Awards scheme, now open for entries.

Get involved

Participants are encouraged to look at different areas of their workplaces to assess whether sustainability can be embedded into everyday activities.

Teams of three or more members can record their achievements in a simple online workbook.

Entrants can aim for bronze, silver or gold awards.

Special awards will also be given for submitting innovative ideas in areas such as energy saving and cutting carbon footprints.

More information

The awards are run by Edinburgh University Students’ Association and the University of Edinburgh’s Sustainability Office.

Last year more than 20 teams from departments across the University took part.

Details about how to register a team can be found on the Edinburgh Sustainability Awards web pages.
