On Thursday 10 March, more than 80 staff and students came together for the third annual Sustainability Action Awards, celebrating some inspiring initiatives taking place across our University.
The awards recognised individuals and groups within the University community who have been changing the world for the better and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability – both in and outside of the institution.
This year also saw the launch of the first Sustainability Action Photographer of the Year Award, with the theme My Global Goals. Based on the 17 international goals for sustainability, the images articulated the photographers interpretation of sustainability and what the Global Goals meant to them.
Many thanks to all the award entrants. The judges were impressed by the quality of applications and were thrilled to see such a range of initiatives taking place across the University.
The ceremony was led by Professor William Powrie, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment and the University’s Sustainability Champion, with awards being presented by Chief Operating Officer Ian Dunn and Students’ Union Vice President Welfare Sam Bailey.
Our congratulations go to all the runners-up and winners. You can read about the winning entries on the Sustainability Action website.
This project was supported by a contribution from the University’s Carbon Management Plan, a dedicated fund that supports energy efficiency and carbon reductions. The fund supports projects that actively benefit our carbon management.
