Members of the Green Impact Team and Sustainability Officer, Juliet Tye with the Beyond Gold Award.
The Green Impact Team is a group of students, staff and Fellows participating in the University’s Green Impact scheme. This is based on a United Nations award-winning programme designed to support environmentally and socially sustainable practice in the College. Students have been encouraging each other to switch off electrical appliances and lights and reduce waste, while staff have been promoting the existing support for sustainable travel to work. Our Sustainability Officer has been documenting the steps that the College is taking towards decarbonisation.
Having a group of students enthusiastically participating in the team is extremely positive and is helping to build momentum as we take steps to become more sustainable. We are delighted that the Green Impact Team’s work to make Exeter College more sustainable has been recognised with its first Beyond Gold award in the 2024/25 academic year.

The team is now refocusing its efforts to move longer term projects forward and focusing in more detail on issues such as waste and biodiversity.
