LUU Receives a Green Impact Students’ Union Award

LUU has once again been awarded ‘Excellent’ in the Green Impact Students’ Union awards.

“The work that Leeds University Union has done on GISU has been outstanding this year! The staff and sustainability reps have been keeping themselves very busy by working on a variety of projects such as community composting, swap shops, signage and comms, and gardening for mental health. This year has also been their most successful Climate Week campaign to date and have already started planning for next year! Not to mention, the support they are giving to societies through sustainability training and activity funding. I honestly can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for LUU, it was a pleasure to meet Beth, Emily and Maria! Keep up the good work!” – Green Impact

We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to the sustainability impact at LUU. Thank you to our sustainability reps: Ben Harris, Polly Boor, Amy Stubbins and Jodie Rhoden; and also our nominee for the SOS Student Leadership award, Emma Green (for her work leading the delivery of Fairtrade Fortnight).

We are proud to have established new initiatives, such as the sustainability rep role, circular consumption events like the clothes swap, chewing gum and vape recycling, as well as to have expanded on previous year’s efforts, such as Climate Week. In 2023/24, we want to continue to embed climate friendly decision-making by representing student voice on the University of Leeds Climate Plan and by creating transparency around how we measure, record, and improve our sustainable impact.
