We are delighted to announce that Exeter College’s sustainability initiatives have been recognised with a Gold Green Impact Award at the University’s 2023-2024 Sustainability Showcase and Celebration. This is the second year running that we received Gold, which means we are now allowed to aim for Beyond Gold in the next academic year.
Members of Exeter’s Green Impact team with the Gold Award
Green Impact is a United Nations award-winning programme that provides simple and effective ways for staff and students to improve the sustainable practices of their building, department or college. Exeter’s application was led by the College’s Green Impact team, made up of students, staff and Fellows. The team met regularly throughout the academic year, including with teams at neighbouring colleges, to identify and implement ways of making Exeter more sustainable.
Exeter received a Gold Award in recognition of the work students, staff and Fellows are doing from reducing gas use, to regenerating the sports ground with wild grass boundaries and wildflowers and running a wide range of events to raise awareness and provide options to reuse items to reduce our waste.
