Green Impact Awards

green impact awards logoAbout the scheme

The University of Bristol Green Impact Awards offer a practical way of helping departments become greener, whilst celebrating the small steps that individuals are taking to reduce our collective environmental impacts. Green Impact challenges departments to implement a number of easy practical actions that will help the environment. The more actions completed by a department the more points are scored, leading to a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum

Aims and outcomes

Green Impact aims to empower individuals and departments to reduce their environmental impact by encouraging, rewarding and celebrating practical environmental improvements.

Who can get involved?

Any department can participate, regardless of size, location or function. The scheme is not aimed at any one type of post-holder – any member of staff can lead on behalf of their department and the more people you can get on board, the greater your score will be. Sign up for the 2010/2011 will open in August 2010 and the scheme will run from September 2010 to February 2011.
