Green Impact Update

How teams fared

Last week, Green Impact teams have submitted their toolkit. Congratulations to them! It was an educational, for some enjoyable process all along and we have seen a lot of passion and commitment from team members. 

Teams have achieved a total of 198 actions and earned 731 points in the process. This is a honorable score and we hope to see this increase next year.

We remind that Green Impact is a behavioural change scheme promoting sustainability, mostly in universities. Teams are formed from different departments to implement changes that will have a positive impact on the university's carbon footprint.

Again well done to the teams and good luck for your audits!
