What is Green Impact?

Green Impact, delivered by student-led education charity SOS-UK, is a sustainability engagement programme that will support you and your colleagues who want to improve your sustainability and social responsibility. Whether you’re taking your first steps into sustainability, or feel like there’s nothing left for you to do – you can make meaningful, visible progress as part of Green Impact, and get recognised for your efforts!

How does it work?

The Green Impact online toolkit breaks the university’s sustainability goals into simple, manageable actions while holding space for creativity and room to grow. We have worked with SOS-UK to create a bespoke toolkit for University of Bath staff that will enable you to complete actions in line with the University strategy and sustainability commitments, local targets and the culture of the University. The simple, meaningful actions cover a wide range of sustainability themes, including energy, waster, water, biodiversity and wellbeing so there is plenty to get involved with.

The programme will launch on Wednesday15 January! From then on, teams of staff and students will work together to complete actions, tracking progress and uploading evidence to the toolkit as you go. At the end of the year, we will hold an awards ceremony to recognise and celebrate the positive change and impact of teams.

How can I get involved?

Green Impact team members are able to make a real difference and can develop transferable skills and knowledge by leading a Green Impact team. Interested in joining a Green Impact team to make your workplace more sustainable? Please book your space at this event if you are interested in coming along to the launch event to find out more. Please do share it with colleagues too and bring them along.

If you are interested to get involved but are unable to attend this event, please register your interest on this form and we'll be in touch in January to let you know more.

Until then...get ready for the Winter Switch Off!

Whilst Green Impact does not officially launch until January, you can get a head start by taking part in the Winter Holiday Switch Off campaign! During semester breaks and periods when the University is closed, we have a significant opportunity to save energy by switching off anything that doesn’t need to be on and turning down equipment where possible. You can help reduce how much energy we use over the winter break by taking part in this campaign.

If you successfully get involved in your team, you will be able to log some points straight away once you access the toolkit in January as this will be one of the toolkit actions!
