Sustainability at the University of Essex

Sustainable Essex is an environmental accreditation programme run by the Sustainability Team. It brings staff and students in a department together in a team and provides them with a tangible framework to make their department more sustainable. The programme runs each academic year.

Each team is provided with an online workbook, providing achievable, easy-to-follow and fun actions directly linked to themes of the University's Sustainability Policies. Each team decides whether to compete for a Bronze, Silver or Gold award.

An annual awards ceremony is held yearly to recognise the achievements of staff and students who take part.
