Have fun whilst making positive changes to your department and the wider institution, engaging with new staff, learning new skills and gaining recognition and awards for your hard work!

Green Impact is a change and engagement program that provides you with simple and positive actions on socio-economic and environmental issues to implement in your workspace environment. The program connects you with other change-makers across the organisation and empowers you to get involved in something you are interested in and get recognised for your efforts. How does it work?

Teams
You are encouraged to form a Green Impact team, consisting of staff and one or two students. Don’t worry if you don’t get a team together; you can start as an individual and grow your team over time or we can help you to form a team. Online toolkit & feedback Using an online toolkit, your team realises practical actions across your office and department. You can track your team’s performance through instant feedback reports. You can spend as much time as you have for this program. The average participant spend spends half an hour a week on this challenge. Of course, this depends on the number of team members.

Auditors
After submitting your toolkit, your team will meet with student auditors to chat about your Green Impact experience and the actions you have implemented. Awards At the end of the Green Impact cycle, we will come together for an awards ceremony, where your team may receive a bronze, silver or gold award, depending on how many actions you have completed.
