Our Green Impact Awards recognise the achievements of staff who complete sustainable actions throughout the academic year.

All the teams have worked so hard on making a positive contribution by reducing their impact on the environment and lockdown meant teams had to come up with creative ways to complete actions from home. From taking part in Zoom meetings to growing plants at home and talking walks out in nature.

An incredible 37 teams took part. 13 teams reached Gold, 9 reached silver, 8 reached bronze. We awarded 1 Green Contractor award, 3 Little Choices Big Change awards, and 3 Gold Project awards. When we are able to, we will be holding our annual awards ceremony to celebrate everyone’s hard work.
